Managing page bookmarks in Google Chrome - import and export. Editing or deleting bookmarks. Change bookmark information

Half a year has passed, literally and figuratively.

Surfing the Internet, we bookmarked the sites we liked. Every month there were more and more bookmarks.

And now the list of bookmarks won't fit even on the screen. Now it is more difficult to find the bookmark we need, and instead of saving time, we are now wasting it.

Let's make our life easier. And we will use the tools provided to us for this.

We will now clear this pile and make all the saved links easy to find and navigate.

For this we will create thematic folders and “add” the corresponding links in them.

Right off the bat, I see that I have links to major portals, to torrent sites, to news sites, to gaming sites. And also there are links that do not fit these topics.

What am I doing? I create folders: "Portals", "Torrents", "News", "Games", "Miscellaneous".
To do this, I call the “Tab Manager”, as I described (True, I myself Google Chrome updated. And now I have a button with "three horizontal stripes" instead of a "wrench" button. But that doesn't change the point.)

Move the mouse pointer over the "Bookmarks Bar" folder and click the left mouse button. The folder with the inscription will be highlighted with a blue background.

Then we move the mouse pointer over the “arrow” of the “Arrange” menu item and press the left mouse button. In the drop-down submenu, move the mouse pointer over the submenu item "Add Folder" and click the left mouse button.


We have created a folder in the Bookmarks Bar folder. Now we need to name it. We write "Portals" and press the "Enter" key.


Create the rest of the folders in the same way.

!!! Attention. Start creating the next folder by clicking the left mouse button on the "Bookmarks Bar" folder.

As a result, we get:


  • hover the mouse over the link to the Mail.ru portal
  • press the left mouse button and, holding the button down, move the mouse pointer over the "Portals" folder
  • release the left mouse button



Move the mouse pointer back to the Bookmarks Bars folder and click the left mouse button. We will again see the remaining list of links.

Thus, we “scatter” all (well, or not all) links in our folders.
Now it's much easier to find the right link.


I also want to focus on the Miscellaneous folder. Here you can also create your own pre-sorting, so that you can then pull the corresponding thematic folder to the main bookmarks bar.

Let's create a subfolder "Likbez" in the folder "Miscellaneous".

For this:

  • hover the mouse pointer over the "Miscellaneous" folder and left-click on it;
  • hover the mouse pointer over the arrow of the "Arrange" menu item and click on it with the left mouse button;
  • hover the mouse pointer over the menu item "Add Folder" and click on it with the left mouse button.


We will be prompted to create a folder. We call it "Likbez". Press "Enter".
We “throw” the necessary links into this folder.


Now we see our links in the "Miscellaneous" folder in the "Likbez" subfolder.


And, if we now want to move this folder to the bookmarks bar, perform the following steps:

  • hover the mouse pointer over the folder "Likbez" and press the left mouse button
  • keeping the button pressed, move the mouse pointer to the bookmarks bar
  • release the mouse button


As a result, we get “full order” with our links.


Well, a couple more points.

In the window that appears, move the mouse pointer to the “arrow” for selecting the folder and click the left mouse button.

Then move the mouse pointer over the "Portals" folder and click on it with the left mouse button.

Then we move the mouse pointer over the “Done” button (it is not visible now, the button has blocked the list of folders) and click on it left mouse button.


By the way, the bookmark manager can be called up by simply pressing the right mouse button on the Bookmarks Bar, then move the mouse pointer to the Bookmark Manager menu item and left-click on it.


That's all for today. Good luck and creative success to all.
