If you have a lot of bookmarks like I have you probably want to structure them with separators. Unfortunately, Google decided that implementing bookmarks separators in Chrome isn’t worth the effort.
So, I’ve compile a little website that allows you add separators anyway. Go, check it out:
I just migrated from Firefox to Chrome and this was one of the first things i missed.
Thanks for this easy solution!
I am currently switch over from Firefox to Chrome right now. This is the nicest solution I have seen so far, thanks for putting it together!
Man, Google is lame for not including separators. Their logic isn’t valid at all…
I totally agree. It’s actually the reason why I switched back to Firefox. The bookmarking system in general is just better with Firefox.
This is extremely well implemented. The lack of this has been bothering me for some time since I switched from Firefox. Thanks very much!
What a great idea .. thanks for putting this out there!
Simple and Great idea. It has simplified my bookmarking in chrome.
Keep up the good work.
Often the simplest solutions are the most elegant – thank you very much. Bookmarks bar looking far neater now. Good work!
Great solution, thanks..!
Thanks for this mate, the only problems I have with this solution compared to the bookmark separators in Firefox is that the separators take up the same amount of space as a regular bookmark and they are clickable hyperlinks. Then there’s the fact that the padding between the bookmarks is (IMO) too big.
These are the two main reasons I won’t make Chrome my default browser:
1) The size of the separator bookmark fix that you provide takes away valuable space for real bookmarks, which when you have a lot of bookmarks like me is one of the reasons I need to separate them. This problem is amplified by the fact that the padding between all bookmarks is larger than in Firefox.
2) If I accidentally click on the separator bookmark, which is possible because it is the same size as a regular bookmark, it takes time to close the tab, then go back into the bookmarks, navigate to the correct folder > sub folder and then try again. This takes time, and time is money. It’s also very frustrating.
These issues could be easily fixed by Google, or potentially with a Chrome extension, however I’m not familiar enough with Webkit/Chrome to know if that’s possible.
If it was possible to make the separator unclickable, reduce the size of the separator AND reduce the padding between ALL bookmarks, then I may be able to use Chrome as my default browser.
The fact is that compared to Firefox, bookmarks in Chrome suck but I do prefer Chrome to Firefox for many other tasks.
Credit where it’s due though, this is the best solution that I have found so far, it is simple and effective for those without too many bookmarks and I will definitely be using it for the small amount of bookmarks that I do have in Chrome.
Cheers!
