Get rid of "Other bookmarks" icon, download bar

Post by paul1149 »

This may be old hat to many, and it may be a chrome matter rather than slimjet specifically, but I just stumbled upon a way to get rid of the space-hogging "other bookmarks" icon at the right of the bookmarks bar.

Go to bookmarks manager and export all your bookmarks to an html file. Then delete all bookmarks, leaving only empty Bookmarks bar and Other bookmarks folders.

Then reimport your bookmarks from the file. You now will have an "All" folder floating at the end of the bookmarks bar, normal size, taking up a lot less space.

Separately, to get rid of the ridiculous persistent download bar, simply install the Downloadr extension.

Don't you have one on the right side of the bookmarks bar?

I found out the key is to empty the "other bookmarks" folder, and the icon disappears.

No, I don't (but its been a long time sine the initial install!!), but if I enable the bm sidebar [for testing only, never use it myself], other is there along with mobile and managed and can't simply be deleted....
