Bookmark Sidebar
Adds a toggleable sidebar with all your bookmarks at the edge of your browser window.
This extensions allows you to access your bookmarks by clicking on the left or right side your screen. You can edit, delete or rearrange your bookmarks by drag&drop and view some information about them by just clicking them with your left mouse button. You can check your bookmarks for updated or broken urls, too.
You can also open your bookmarks in the side panel provided by Chrome. The sidebar will then be opened alongside the websites and stays there as a permanent sidebar.
You can also optionally use a New Tab Page with the bookmark sidebar that can be enabled in the settings.
If you found a bug, have ideas for features or improvements, please let me know.

Half the features don't work, most are poorly explained, and some do something other than what they say they will. It's a pain to have to close the sidebar manually. It should close as soon as you click away, but the creator either couldn't handle that or didn't think of it. It lets you set a time delay for it to close automatically, but that's a feature that doesn't work. I tried switching to mouseover to open it instead of clicking the icon, figuring the timeout was only meant to work with that, even though the delay setting is available without it, but mouseover doesn't work either. You can only open it by clicking the icon, and you have to close it the same way or by X-ing out. The creator put a lot of work into making the interface look professional and adding features, but failed to test the product or make any of the features useful.
Very good extension. The default sidebar in Chrome is far too wide and you can't adjust it. This does the job very well, and gives you loads of customisation options. It also looks pretty - which is never a bad thing!
it is great it would be better if you add hover behavior like what we have in chrome main topbar bookmark (which for nested bookmark folders you dont need to click you only hover over folder)
Best extension!
It's possible to add this plugin into error page 404 ?
the inability to reorder the bookmarks within the sidebar. nice extension !
Everytime i set it up and exit the page, the sidebar no longer works..
Extremely good extension, super useful!
nice
great extension, fast, clean and does what it's supposed to do. i use the free version but if there was one more feature it would convince me to go for the paid version, that is upload and personalize folder icons as you like. hope the dev will update this feature soon :)
This extension has a very sleek design with tons of customization options. I was looking for an extension to help me manage and organize my bookmarks, and I'm so glad to have found this one. I appreciate how intuitive it is to use.
どうしてサイドバーに「常に表示」の選択が無いんだろう? マウスオーバーで開く時間を最速にしても、少し読み込み時間があるからサクサク動かせません。 常時サイドバー表示の希望は多いと思うんですが、何年経っても解決しませんね・・・
very nice looking
Fantastic extension!! Loads of customization, great design and very quick to respond. The free version does everything I needed, but it was well worth investing in the Premium version for the extras and to support the dev! Great work!
Thanks, very good work!
brings back the bookmarks tree view in the sidebar. thanks!
[Update Feb 2025] with a recent (forced) Chrome update, the Bookmark Sidebar extension now makes the entire browser so sluggish that it is unusable. Will update my rating when / if this is fixed. Stop looking. This is the closest you are going to get to a user configurable bookmarks sidebar like Firefox. Install it!

Overall OK, but quite fiddly when organizing and searching the bookmarks, that could be done much better also visually.
Pretty good!
I couldn't get it to work in Brave. It just kept saying "something has blocked the sidebar." In any case I was getting a major headache trying to read the settings with its ultra-fine and ultra-faint font set over a blinding white background.
This has been a disaster! One day it stopped working. It had a "repair" option so I chose it. It warned that your bookmarks could be removed so I clicked on cancel. Guess what? It deleted all of my 900 bookmarks anyway and I don't know how or if I can get them back!
It's too damn big.
"something has blocked the sidebar..." I get this often, yet opening Settings and click "save changes" (without changing anything) puts it back to normal.
Love this feature. However, I really wish the sidebar could be adjustable on the permanent view with a smaller width. At the moment takes too much screen space.
Extension is good, but it stops working randomly. I have set the mouse over shortcut to access the side bar, but it randomly stops responding, means nothing happens when I take the mouse over. Then I have to uninstall and re-install the extension, which erases all my settings. Please fix this.
The bookmarklet works fine from the top right of the window ︙→Bookmarks and the list, bookmarklet does not work from the bookmarks sidebar of this extension.
This extension is not working, it doesn't save appearance (left-side, left-click) or saved appearance does'nt work. If I open it by extension button it opens as usual chrome bookmarks sidebar which unconvinient. Can someone help with it? Chromve v.131
Love it. I have paid for the premium version to support the developer.
5 min everything alright! If something go wrong, I write about it.
I love this, it's certainly the best bookmark sidebar for Chrome I've found and I've looked at a lot. There is one feature I would love though, and that would be if there was the option to have two sidebars open, one at each side, so I can have my reading list open on one side, bookmarks open on the other side, and the current web page in the center. With a widescreen monitor like mine this configuration would be the best! Many thanks for your excellent work.
This extension is a bit of a mess. There is always a random folder's contents being listed in the root bookmarks folder. Why?
Looks great and works well. I'm on Brave browser and can't re-order/drap-drop anything for some reason.
if it didnt constantly request access to read site data even when i tell it not to, id rate it 5 stars. there is absolutely no reason at all for the extension to need permission to read and change data on a page to manage bookmarks, and not being able to completely disable that is very concerning. you can only choose specific pages that it can do that, all pages or on click, but it will never ever stop attempting to access data on website pages. yes that means this extension sees the porn you see. it means it sees your bank account info when you access your inline banking etc. absolutely completely unnecessary just to manage bookmarks and if any feature actually needs this just be transparent and tell people in a popup what they gain or lose by disabling it.
Fantastic extension! Makes my workspace on chrome so much more clean and organized.
A Must-Have Extension! This Chrome extension has a sleek and intuitive interface. The ability to rearrange my bookmark folders effortlessly is a game-changer, and the search function is outstanding—it’s easily the best feature. This is by far the best Chrome extension I've installed in a while. Highly recommended! Thank you!
Finally! A Bookmarks manager that is intuitive, beautiful and great to use! I absolutely love the smooth UI. Keep up the GREAT work!
Amazing for Arc, but I do not like how it opens its own new tab screen, when I do not want it too
Only because of this extension I can't move to Firefox browser, it's a game changer. Chrome manifest v3 Suck big time.
Sidebar not getting out over mouse no matter what configs I change...
As of 25/07/24, it causes Brave to crash immediately.
Simple! Easy to use. Good!
Initially got this for Arc browser which lacks an easy way of maintaining bookmarks, but i'm so happy with it that I would recommend it for any browser. It adds a number of useful features to the bookmark management experience.
The product is undoubtedly nice but I don't understand the use of it when google has already provided us with the bookmark section that too which is so easily feasible. Plus the 'keyboard shortcuts' screen is not working comfortably, kindly have a look on that.
Very useful indeed. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for providing such a nice product.
One of my favorites someone told me about it. I'm glad they did
Exactly what I was looking for. Simple and efficient
Great plugin! But the absolute best experience was when it was possible to view the extension in the standard Chrome Side Panel! Unfortunately, Google just removed the great Side Panel feature and replaced it with a Pin Only alternative for standard Chrome features. Will it be possible for Bookmark Sidebar to utilize this pin-functionality, to get a similar behaviour as when hosted in the former Side Panel? If so, that would be great! It's really unfortunate that the Google Dev Team constantly make crazy design decisions that only makes the browser less functional. I mean, not being able to show bookmarks in the order that they are actually configured in the bookmark menu is completly incomprehensible!
Great, almost everything works as expected. But one thing, if only we can sort files only, without affecting the order of folders, it would be excellent.
