How to Keep Facebook, Bookmarks Handy in Chrome

22.05.2012
Chrome has some handy ways to keep your myriad bookmarks just a click away, and for Facebook junkies to keep status updates front and center.

Chrome's Bookmarks Bar puts my most frequently visited sites across the top of the browser, just one click away.

The problem is that I have so many favorites, they don't all fit. Instead, they get squeezed out of view, requiring me to click the little double-arrow on the right end of the Bookmarks Bar. Then I'm stuck perusing a drop-down menu, which takes, like, all day.

The solution I've found is to condense those favorites icons, or favicons, by eliminating the text that accompanies them. It takes a bit of time, but I think it's worth the effort. Here's how:

1. Right-click any icon in your Bookmarks Bar, then click Edit.

2. Remove the text from the Name field, then click Save.
