What is Bookmarks Bar Switcher?
'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.

However, it may encounter minor syncing issues across multiple devices, but waiting a few minutes before switching bars could help mitigate this.

Summary

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.

Can I get some assistance with this, please? Every time I try to create a folder within 'Other Bookmarks' it does not show on Switcher. It worked perfectly on my home computer but not my work computer. My sync is turned on, so it should work....it is screwing up work organization for me...
