Bookmarks Bar Switcher: Easily Switch Between Multiple Bookmarks Bars
Bookmarks Bar Switcher is a free Chrome add-on developed by Jiajia Wang. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This handy tool allows users to effortlessly switch between multiple bookmarks bars, providing a convenient way to organize and access their bookmarks.
To use Bookmarks Bar Switcher, simply name your current bookmarks bar. Then, create a folder within the "Other Bookmarks" section to create a new bookmarks bar that you can switch to. When you switch between bars, your current bookmarks bar will be backed up to a folder with the name you initially specified, while the folder you selected becomes the new bookmarks bar. This ensures that any changes you make to your bookmarks bar will be preserved when you switch back.
While Bookmarks Bar Switcher offers a useful functionality, there are a couple of known issues to be aware of. Firstly, it doesn't work well across multiple devices, and there have been reports of bookmarks getting mixed up. This is likely due to the Chrome bookmark sync functionality. Unfortunately, there isn't currently a good way to fix this issue as Chrome doesn't provide APIs to indicate when the sync starts or ends. However, one potential workaround is to wait for a few minutes after switching devices before changing the bookmarks bar, allowing time for the sync to complete.
