Do you use the bookmarks toolbar?

squirell nutkin · 03-02-2010, 10:45 AM

I've started putting my most accessed stuff up there. I've also got the "other bookmarks" icon with a folder chock full o' bookmarks.

Ooooooo Google Chrome now has bookmark syncing, ad block, and flash block.

Might have to try it out now.

One thing I enjoy doing is removing the title from the bookmarks, leaving just the favicon. This worked the same way in Firefox.

So I downloaded Chrome, I don't see any toolbar to access preferences to change this sort of thing, or I'm trying to find the magic spot to right click on to get a prefernces menu.

i found it, in the top right theres spanner to access controls, it's white on grey so i didn't see it at first.

Theres not much to set though.

I want links I click on to open in a new tab, and it to switch to that tab as active.

Beest, hit ctrl-B to show the bookmarks bar, then you can drag URLs into it, right click to create folders, right click on icons to set their name, etc.

lumberjim · 03-04-2010, 01:39 PM

how do you get the favicons in there?

Undertoad · 03-04-2010, 01:53 PM

I drag the link in, from the icon right to the left of it in the address bar, and then I right-click on it and edit it and erase the name part.

lumberjim · 03-04-2010, 02:06 PM

I'm not getting any icon in the address bar, and when I erase the name, i am just left with a little white 'portrait' icon.

also, not so excellent is that you MUST put .com after your url or it ignores your ass.
