Overview

A second, compact bookmark row: switch to a favicon-only view anytime.

Chrome's native bookmarks bar works fine until you actually use it. Past a handful of bookmarks, folders spill into a tiny "»" overflow menu, there's no way to search, and every bookmark you keep costs you a few seconds of hunting to use it again. Better Bookmarks Bar is a compact bookmarks bar and bookmark manager built to close that gap: a second, favicon-first bookmark row that replaces the native one with something smaller, smarter, and fast enough that finding a bookmark stops being its own little task. WHAT YOU GET - Favicon-only bar by default, with an optional favicon + title view - An accessible drill-down menu for nested folders, with a back button and arrow-key navigation - Instant search across every bookmark you have, not just what the bar currently shows - Quick-add the current page with one click or a keyboard shortcut, with duplicate detection - Auto-hide sliver by default, or pin it open with one click - A right-click menu for open, rename, edit URL, delete, and open-all. No jarring native pop-ups - One-click delete with an Undo toast, so cleanup is fast without a confirmation step - Recently Deleted: a durable safety net for anything removed, from this extension, Chrome's own bookmark manager, or a sync hiccup - Drag-and-drop reordering and filing into folders - Matches your installed Chrome theme automatically, with a manual light/dark override PRO: MULTIPLE BARS + SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT A one-time purchase unlocks multiple bars stacked at once, each pointed at its own folder and color, and it supports development. PRIVACY Better Bookmarks Bar has no backend of its own. Every bookmark read and write goes straight through Chrome's own bookmarks API, nothing is copied to a separate server. Settings sync through chrome.storage, the same mechanism your bookmarks already use. The only outbound network call this extension ever makes is verifying a Pro license key against Gumroad, and only when you enter one yourself.
