    Thank you! My bookmark bar and folders was a mess and I had no clue how to edit/fix it! I deleted the extraneous I collected over the years and NOW I can find new bookmarks I save!

    I've been using the internet since Mosaic was the browser...and this is the best video EVER about Chrome bookmarks. I've gotten away from using Chrome and had to come back and clean things up (1539 bookmarks). I couldn't remember how it worked and this showed me EVERYTHING in less than 4 minutes. Great video for beginners to. Succinct and clear. Thanks!

    "My Tips for Making Your Life Easier with Good Bookmark Management"
    1) Name one folder"[High Priority]"
    Place anything important in there. Things that you need to deal with go in here. Every so often, I review the contents of this folder.
    2) Name one folder "[Low Priority]"
    This is for anything that there is no deadline for. Things like new project ideas go in here, as does anything from High Priority folder that I am awaiting a response on from someone else.
    3) Name one folder "[Archives]".
    This is an optional folder. You can use the in-built "Other bookmarks" folder in Chrome. This is for logging general sites. I tend to have a folder in here that I bookmark EVERY visited page in. That way I know what I have read before, even if I clear my browser cache I know that if I type in the Chrome URL bar, that it will give me some auto-suggestions from my bookmarks. This folder guarantees that if I suddenly remember having read something previously, I have a much better chance of finding it again even when I have deleted my History or am on another device - provided I am synchronising my bookmarks between browsers (whilst being logged in of course).
    4) Name your folders
    Despite this video being correct, I find that I need named folders since when I am working with a lot of bookmarks I can end up overwhelmed with multiple identical icons or icons that are hard to differentiate. When you get to a number of bookmarks, say over 100, I advise using their names including their ancestry.
    5) Use breadcrumbs for folder names
    When you add sub-folders, use the naming convention that includes the parent folder name as well. So if you have a sub-folder inside High Priority called Banking, then name the folder "[High Priority > Banking]". If you have a folder within that called "Invoices" then name that folder [High Priority > Banking > Invoices]". This will prove useful when you are adding a bookmark to a folder in case you have folders with the same names at different locations.
    6) Actively manage bookmarks
    Clean your bookmarks regularly. Move older bookmarks from "High Priority" into "Low Priority" or "Archives" regularly is important to allow you to remain focused on your priorities. If you are in a job that requires you to use the Web a lot (such as I am since I work as a Web Developer) then this is crucial to help you maintain work velocity and productivity.
    7) Use a TODO list
    Create a folder "[High Priority > ToDo]". You create a series of bookmarks here to create a simply To-Do task list. Delete the bookmarks or move to another folder as you complete them.
    8) Export bookmarks
    Don't rely purely on your browser for your bookmarks. If you are serious about bookmarks, migrate them to another document. Good options include:
    * a word processor - Windows: MS Office's Word, LibreOffice's Writer, FocusWriter, WPS Office Free Writer, FocusWriter, Writemonkey, etc. - iOS: iWork suite's Pages, MS Office's Word, etc. - Web based: Google Docs (docs.google.com), Microsoft Office online (office.live.com), Zoho Writer (zoho.com/writer) , wordonline.info, quip.com, calmlywriter.com, and many more can be found using Google
    * a note-taking application - Microsoft OneNote - Evernote - Web based variations including monday.com, notion.io,
    * a text editor with hyperlink support (Metapad, Notepad++, Visual Studio Code and some other support hyperlinks by default. Others like Sublime Text 3 can support hyperlinks through "packages" or extensions)

      Chris thank you. I wonder if you know how we can organize/move our folders like you mention in #6 without Chrome "kicking us out". Is there a way to keep your list of bookmarks open and move things from one place to another without having to start over again? Does that make sense? It's driving me crazy. I sometimes put a link in the wrong folder and want to move it (when I discover it later) and again if I want to do that it kicks me out to the beginning again.

    Hi,
    Very nice to see a video for the #ChromeBookmarkBar, please find my tips below:
    Better ways to
    1 - bookmark current tab = drag it from the lock icon to bookmarks bar.
    2 - create a folder = right-click bookmarks bar and select a new folder.
    3 - to move all bookmarks from one profile to another = copy from bookmarks manager and paste it to the other profiles manager.
    Recommendations:
    1 - use icons only, for the most used websites to save more space = right-click the bookmark and edit the name to blank.
    2 - play with themes you like, so that icons come more visible = themes @ App section
    3 - Do not exceed the bookmark full space, so that you can see the end = drag bookmarks to folders, organize within the bar, and not going to bookmarks-manager.
    Thanks

I was wondering if there was a function to bring all the folders together? Since your screen had the same issue, I am now wondering if it is a design element in Chrome? I hope that I was clear in my question. I also hope that you can help me. Thank you and peace.

    OK. You seem an excellent teacher. I need to understand the bookmarks hierarchy. How does it work? How do I edit and re-arrange where in the hierarchy things go? My Bookmarks are a total mess. Multiple duplicates. Unfoldered collections of hundreds of unorganized bookmarks. I would like to put ALL old bookmarks in a Misc. folder and start doing this right from now on. How to do this easily? It looks like I have to edit every single bookmark separately. Any ideas?

    I have an odd problem not covered in this video. My bookmarks used to drop down in a menu when I clicked on "bookmarks". Now when I click on the icon in the menu bar, it opens a new window and I think (?) it is a reading list. I have no idea how this happened but I would like to have the menu back. How can I do this? I will say that I am left handed and sometimes when I pick up my mouse some buttons on the side get clicked when I don't intend to. It is irritating as heck.

I routinely run chrome with hundreds of tabs open, find a good link I want to save, and don't have room left on my chrome bar. Any ideas?
