Bookmarks Bar Switcher: Easily switch your Chrome bookmarks bar

'Bookmarks Bar Switcher' is a unique Chrome extension designed for enhanced web browsing. This tool allows users to effortlessly interchange between different bookmark bars, assuring a smooth and organized browsing experience. It backs up your current bookmarks bar under a specified name while the selected folder becomes the new bookmarks bar, thereby retaining any changes. However, it may encounter minor syncing issues across multiple devices, but waiting a few minutes before switching bars could help mitigate this.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Bookmarks Bar Switcher lets you easily and quickly switch between multiple bookmarks bars.

How to use: To start, name your current book bar. To create a bookmarks bar that you can switch to, create a folder within Other Bookmarks.

How it works: When switching, your current bookmarks bar will be backed up to a folder within Other Bookmarks with the name you initially specified. And the folder you selected will become the new bookmarks bar. So any changes you made on your bookmarks bar will stay when you switch back.

Known issues: It doesn't work well across multiple devices. Reports of bookmarks mixed up have been received. It's probably something to do with the chrome bookmark sync functionality.

Bei mir funktioniert die Erweiterung gerade nicht. Es werden keine anderen Bookmark-Leisten mehr angezeigt, obwohl ich viele habe.

Outstanding product. Till it stopped working the other day. Happy to pay something to the developer to update.

Same as the review below, been using this for years but doesn't work anymore. Simple yet excellent extension; I hope the developer can get it working again.
