Allows switching between multiple sets of bookmarks on the bookmarks bar
What is MultiBar?
MultiBar is a ground-breaking Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience. It enables users to easily switch between multiple sets of bookmarks on the bookmarks bar with a simple click. On installation, it creates two bookmark folders under 'Other bookmarks' called 'Bar1' and 'Bar2.' Users can customize these folders and add more as per their needs. The currently displayed bookmarks bar contents are shifted to Bar1 (or whichever name you choose to rename it to) when you make the switch.
