Image from store Bookmark Bar Switcher
Description from store An extension allowing you to use more than one Bookmarks Bar. [HOW TO USE] All available bookmark bars will show up in the extension popup. To switch between them, just click the one you would like to switch to. Alternatively, you can also switch using keyboard shortcuts. The default bindings are: - Ctrl + UpArrow/DownArrow: Switch to the next or previous bookmark bar. - Ctrl + Shift + 1: Switch to the first bookmark bar. - Ctrl + Shift + 2: Switch to the second bookmark bar. Additional shortcuts are available. To assign them or redefine existing shortcuts visit chrome://extensions/shortcuts. You can add, rename, reorder and remove bookmark bars from within the extension: - Add: Type the name of your new bar into the input field at the bottom and confirm with `Enter` or by clicking the PLUS-button. - Edit: Either use the EDIT-button next to the bar you want to modify or double-click it. Type the new name and confirm with `Enter` or by clicking the SAVE-button. - Reorder: Drag the bookmark bar to its desired position with the mouse and drop it. - Remove: Enter the EDIT mode and click the DELETE button. [HOW IT WORKS] The extension exchanges the bookmarks inside the current bookmark bar with the ones within a chosen folder in the "Bookmark Bars" directory. The current bookmark bar will be backed up to a folder in "Bookmark Bars". The current bookmark bar will be called ***"My first bookmark bar 🚀"*** when you first install the extension.

  • (2025-06-26) Dieter Dieter: Unfortunately, just like other reviewers, somehow things got messed up. Got two bookmark bars, and they mixed. Now I gotta deep dive to carefully reconstruct and hopefully not lose anything. Rabbithole I don't want on my plate, so unfurtunately gotta find another extension. Another issue was that there's some sort of hotkey that toggles the bookmarks, 99% when I don't want it, and I can't figure out which hotkkey combination it is.
  • (2025-06-24) Jake Wilson: Gets really messed up when using multiple computers. I had 2 sets of bookmark bars and when I started up Chrome on a 2nd computer and tried to switch which Bookmark Bar I was using it merged them both together. And now the 2nd bookmark bar is empty.
  • (2025-06-19) Lacey Gallagher: Use on one computer and glad this is available as the other Bar Switcher was discontinued. Cannot speak for syncing on other devices.
  • (2025-06-15) Cheeky Hobson: If your bookmarks are synced across devices, everytime you open up a browser the bookmarks get messed up. I turned my sync off for bookmarks only and i have not had another issue. Once i turned it off i set up my bookmarks for my different devices and have not had a single problem. I highly recommend it.
  • (2025-06-13) Brandon Aberle: Should have read reviews first. Bookmarks keep getting merged. I noticed it happening when I switched between devices - appears to be some weird session sync issue or something. Have to find another extension I guess.
  • (2025-03-14) Damian S: JUNK!!! I should have read the reviews first! All my bookmarks are messed up now as this mod has merged them into various folders.
  • (2025-03-12) Timmy L: After I made two bookmark bars, the next day it cut the bookmarks from bar B en added it to bar A. This happend 3 times now.
  • (2025-03-11) Dejan Penko: Not good when working on two or more devices. Every time I switch device, the bookmarks get messed up.
  • (2025-02-28) Jason: Keeps losing my three bars and mixing them up - shame, had high hopes at first
  • (2025-01-25) Barney Dawson: this is dogsh*t.! Every time i go between my laptop & pc the bookmarks reset & i have to open manager to manually relocate them..! Had enough now removing from Chrome.
  • (2024-11-14) Veronika Barnes: all bookmarks were saved under one "bar" and I'm now trying to find out how to put separate them and save under a different bar
  • (2024-10-29) Vinny McGrane: Works most of the time, sometimes it pushing all the bookmarks onto the one profile and then I need to put them all back which is a little annoying
  • (2024-09-02) Ryan Hintze: For the most part, this extension does great. As mentioned by other reviewers, it has some sync issues. I've noticed this on Windows mostly when one computer has Google chrome open, but is locked. I'll have to open the bookmark manager in chrome and manually move the merged bookmarks
  • (2024-08-20) Fraser Edwards: Like its counterparts it doesn't always work and sometimes just disappears. I have my bookmarks bars sets backed up as separate collections in 'Toby' which has been stable since I started using it ages ago. It is annoying because this is such a good idea. Maybe its a retirement project to develop one that works. So...when the you select a particular bar it creates the bar but empties the bookmark folder and rewrites to that folder when you choose another bookmark. Thus if you delete the app the bookmark bar stays with set in place but the folder for that bar is left empty. This sort of explains the behaviour of loosing data.
  • (2024-06-28) Jose Apollo: THANK YOU!!!
  • (2024-06-20) Alex U.: Unfortunately, the bookmarks didn't sync and when I opened Chrome on another device, both of the bookmarks were merged together.
  • (2024-06-11) James C Edwards: Loved this for several weeks until it stopped working! Super annoying now.
  • (2024-05-22) mslynn85: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'm an avid organizer and I started using this extension months ago thinking I'd hit a jackpot. And I've wanted to love it. I just can't. It works great for a while, then all of sudden all bookmarks in a folder will simply disappear. The first three times it was one particular folder on repeat. Although I used it multiple times per day, it was fortunately a folder with only a dozen or so bookmarks. So irritating to have to recreate it so many times, but doable. This time, however, it removed all bookmarks from THREE folders. All of them. Completely. I've lost literally hundreds of bookmarks. Instead of anxiously awaiting a release with subfolder functionality, I'm done. Away it goes.
  • (2024-05-07) Aaron Ascencio: I need to be able to have subgroups so I can group my bookmarks bars. After lots of bookmark bars this is losing its use.
  • (2024-05-02) Rob Kaufman: Worked for a long time and then BOOM, stopped. Lost my bookmarks. Put them all back again and two days later, one of the bookmarks is "empty". Gone. I'm done with this.
  • (2024-02-17) Tuukka Sauramäki: Would be nice but glitches basically all the time making you reorganise everything. Not fun to use
  • (2024-01-22) Austin Gable: When it works, it works great. I had separate bookmark tabs for both work and home that worked great until they get merged together and jumbled. It moves the bookmarks between the tabs for no apparent reason and at random intervals. I can't be bothered to keep redoing them every time, so for now, it's uninstall time.
  • (2023-12-30) David Beaton: DO NOT USE. It ruined a lifetime of bookmarks for me. I have a thousand bookmarks in the bookmark bar, organised into groups. Not only could it not switch between the groups consistently, it jumbled them up, and put some bookmarks in another group, until in the end it was impossible to restore my bookmarks.
  • (2023-12-12) Vivi Tamasi: Edit: 12/12/2023 Ruining my bookmarks I carefully organised and fusing together a lot :( Love it,as an adhd/autistic data hoarder junkie, this extension so useful now i can over 20+ different bookmarks, I only had twice lag but after restarting chrome back to normal!

  • (2023-12-12) Lammaer B: I love the concept and execution. I always struggled with the limitations of having only one toolbar. Is there any chance to have the option to show 2 toolars simultaneously?
  • (2023-12-08) Dali U.: Update: Still not working. It always combines both folders back in one...... have to uninstall it :( Amazing tool, should be integrated in chrome as a standard function. Unfortunately it stopped working. I work on a mac and a windows machine. Since a week, everytime i switch computers, all bookmarks are combined in one location and my two generated folder are empty. have to refill them everytime from start...resets again. if this wouldn happen, i would give 5 stars
  • (2023-11-23) James Pereyra: Works great, switching from home and business bookmarks is so easy. make turning off from work a breeze
  • (2023-11-18) William Deneault-Rouillard: Great design and works well. Thanks!
  • (2023-11-03) Alexander (Alex7000): Genial, um zwischen Arbeitsmodus und Privatmodus zu wechseln! Ich wĂĽnschte es wĂĽrde nicht das aktuelle Profil syncen, damit it nicht immer wechseln muss wenn ich an meinem privaten und arbeits-computer bin.
  • (2023-07-16) DoYouWantaHug: So, after 4 months I had to try it again. It worked for 10 minutes. The function behind is: the bookmarks will be copied into the bookmarks bar. So if you switch between the bars, the one will be cutted and pasted in the "normal" path in its standard folder. The other ones will be cutted and pasted in the bookmark bar. But now I had to notice that this process wont be realized clean. Several bookmarks of an other bookmark will be displayed now in my "home & office". Important bookmarks of an judical case I collected are everywhere, but not there where they have to be. So, my question is: is there a limit for bookmarks your tool is able to handle clean?

  • (2023-05-15) Spencer Lee: This is a great example of a good Chrome extension. It has a simple purpose, it serves its purpose well, and it doesn’t have too many extra bells and whistles. Love it—thanks for making this!

  • (2023-04-11) AurĂ©lien Lucien-Vauthier: I really appreciate this extension, which allows me to personalize my environment to my personal/professional needs without redoing a browser profile or a user account. And I really appreciate the latest update, where the bars are nicer and smoother. Other extensions like this are heavy. Congrats and thank you.

  • (2023-03-18) Timo König: I only found the older version of this extension, so I migrated it myself to V3 and made it useable for Opera too. 2h later I found this :D and had the same idea of the shortkeys! Thanks. P.S.: For Opera-Users, the folder "Bookmark Bar" is saved in "Imported Bookmarks" and not "Other Bookmarks". The other Folder is has the ID 5 in Opera.
