I'm getting mad with the bookmark manager in Google Chrome. I understand that I can create folders, but for some reason it only works for me that it creates a subfolder of the current selected root folder.
The three top folder are not real folders, they are telling you how their content is treated (displayed/not displayed/only displayed on mobile devices).
That is a fixed list and cannot be extended.

It is worth mentioning this because if you don't use the Bookmarks toolbar, adding a folder to the Bookmarks Bar adds the folder to the top level of the Bookmarks menu, which is as top-level as it gets.
Important: To open a bookmark the easy way, select it in the Bookmarks bar. To turn the bookmarks bar on or off, select More Bookmarks and lists Show bookmarks bar.
In this lesson, we'll talk about how to add bookmarks to Chrome, how to manage and organize your bookmarks and folders, and how to import bookmarks from another browser
If you have different bookmarks on one topic, you might consider creating a folder to keep them organized. New folders can be added either to the Bookmarks bar folder or the Other bookmarks folder.
Now, imagine you have an item towards the end of your accordion called "My Secrets", which is offscreen in the ">>" zone. And then imagine you remove some items from the visible area, and without you noticing, "My Secrets" has slid on screen. That is a reason for the "Other Bookmarks" folder, i.e. a place where you can put bookmarks that you don't want to see on the Bookmarks Bar.
That is simply the folder for any bookmarks which you have not classified into a folder yourself (such as mobile or bookmarks toolbar or any other specific folder). You can choose this as an option if you just want to save the bookmark with no classification.The folder can be removed from your Bookmarks bar by emptying it. As far as I remember though, the "Other Bookmarks" folder was present in the old bookmark system though.
I'm looking for the easiest way to share a bookmark folder with someone else. Preferably without having to download software (unless it is a Chrome extension) or go through some tedious process. Any help is appreciated.
So I just switched to Chrome and transferred all my bookmarks. I use folders to arrange my bookmarks, but whenever I'd click on one of the links, the folder menu always closes, prompting me to always click on the folder again. I know I can just hold Ctrl while clicking, but I'd like to know if there's a way for me to configure this.
If you click on that tab, it will bring up a dropdown menu which shows several options, like "Bookmark Manager" and "Bookmark this tab". It also lists any bookmarks or bookmark folders you currently have:
Just click those three dots and you'll see the right dropdown above. Hover over/click on "Bookmarks" and the left menu will pop out. There you'll see a similar bookmark menu with options like "Show Bookmarks Bar", "Bookmark Manager" and so on.
To bookmark a tab quickly, just key in Command+D / Ctrl+D (see below) - it'll bring up that same bookmark window as above. Then you can just hit enter if you don't want to update the bookmark's name or any other settings and it'll save it.
Well, it's easy to remove bookmarks you no longer need. Simply navigate to your bookmarks tab (through the Chrome menu bar or Settings - three dots - as we discussed above) and select "Manage Bookmarks".
Double click on the "Users" folder (and then you might have to select the user you want to use). Then double click on the following folders in this order (a new window with an alphabetized list will pop up each time you double-click):
There, you'll find two files, one called "Bookmarks" and the other called "Bookmarks.bak". The .bak file contains your backed-up bookmarks, which will have those bookmarks that you accidentally deleted.
Or if you use multiple Chrome people / profiles, your data might be in another directory like Profile 1. I'm recovering a bookmark I deleted on my work profile in Chrome, so my "Bookmarks" and "Bookmarks.bak" files are in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 1.
In the Default or Profile x directory, you'll find two files, one called "Bookmarks" and the other called "Bookmarks.bak". The .bak file contains your backed-up bookmarks, which will have those bookmarks that you accidentally deleted.
Note that .config is a hidden directory, and you may need to make hidden files and folders visible first. Also, the google-chrome directory may be in another location depending on your flavor of Linux and how you installed the browser.
In the Default directory, you'll find two files, one called "Bookmarks" and the other called "Bookmarks.bak". The .bak file contains your backed-up bookmarks, which will have those bookmarks that you accidentally deleted.
My ultimate goal is to make an extension that allows me to save pages to come and read later without having to go sign up for an account on some service somewhere. So I plan to create either one or two bookmark folders in the root folder/other bookmarks - at minimum an "unread pages" folder. In that folder I'll create the unread bookmarks. When the user marks the item as read, it will be removed from that folder.
Currently, there is no good way to find folders such as "Other Bookmarks" or "Bookmarks Bar" in the bookmarks API. You would have to iterate through all the bookmarks and find which node has those root folders and save its bookmark id. The bug is filed Issue 21330.
The root id is always 0, and when I mean 0, it corresponds to "Bookmarks bar" and "Other bookmarks". As any tree structure, each node has children. If you want to fetch all the bookmarks under one folder, you can use getChildren API and get every node recursively (you can do it iteratively too). For example, the following will get every single bookmark:
That is all, you can do all this iteratively as well which is better performance, but you can figure that out :) Note that since you want to redo the bookmarks bar, you can override that page in extensions (soon):
If you want to show a nice HTML tree of your bookmarks, you can easily do that by extending the getTree functionality I showed above to accept a parent DOM. You can do something like this. Edit the code to make use of the getTree or collapse everything and make use of the getChildren and fetch more bookmarks if they request it.
There is no root bookmarks folder in the sense of a file system object. All the bookmarks are stored in a structured file that you access through the api in the link you provided. The root of the tree is returned by getTree:
Using the function given in my example, tree[0].children is the array containing the children. On my default setup tree has two children, tree[0].children[0] is "Bookmarks Bar" and tree[0].children[1] is "Other Bookmarks". The rest of the bookmark tree flows down from there, though "Other Bookmarks" (tree[0].children[1]) is the folder I'm looking for.
PreemoIt's a tricky question as we don't know either what workflow you're referring to, or which ones you've already come across. That's most likely why you haven't had any replies so far. A quick look online finds quite a few Chrome bookmarks workflows ?
Google Chrome bookmarks are easy to sort and access from the browser. It only takes a few clicks to add, delete, and rename bookmarks as needed. However, when you need to migrate bookmarks to a new browser, you may need to locate your bookmarks file to transfer them manually unless you use the export function to create a new file.
It's a wonder why Google hides the bookmarks file in such a remote location but the easiest way to \n move your chrome bookmarks from your old PC to a new PC is to copy the whole bookmarks file from one PC to the other.

I've just installed Firefox as am thinking of moving from Chrome. But to be honest I'm not impressed having come up against my first hurdle. I choose to avail of the import option upon installing Firefox and I want to mirror the bookmarks bar I had in Chrome. There does not seem to be a bookmark manager in FF (admittedly Chrome's bookmark manager is like something a 1st yr programming student would come up with but at least I can do stuff with it) instead all I seem to have gotten is a bookmark sidebar with no way of bulk moving my Chrome bookmarks bar contents directly to the FF bookmarks bar.
This is really dissapointing. How difficult would it be when importing bookmarks to offer the new user the ability to filter or select what category of bookmarks they want imported. But more importantly the ability to import directly the bookmarks bar from Chrome and place them into the FF bookmarks bar. Instead FF has lumped them altogether into a folder and stuck that folder on the bar.
I have never used Chrome very much so I don't know how the Chrome bookmarks bar works, but in Firefox there is a Bookmarks Toolbar folder, which appears directly under the "All Bookmarks" folder in the Library.
I have seen posted here that "Import data from Another Browser..." (say, from Chrome) lumps all Chrome bookmarks in a separate folder named (something like) from Chrome; whereas, doing an HTML format export from Chrome and then using Import Bookmarks from HTML ... will be handled differently. As I recall, the HTML import will place those bookmarks in the Firefox "All Bookmarks" folder structure - merging the loose file and folders with already present bookmarks and folders, not in their own "from Chrome" folder
Find the Chrome "bookmarks bar" folder (if Firefox see's that as a unique folder) and move those bookmarks into the Bookmarks Toolbar folder. Bookmarks can be "moved" via cut & paste (menu items or keyboard commands) or via drag 'n' drop in the Library UI and the Bookmarks Sidebar. (highlight them all and "slide" them around). And if the Chrome "bookmarks bar" bookmarks appear in one folder in Firefox, you can "drag" or "copy / paste" them all at once into the Bookmarks Toolbar folder.
