How to Remove Google Chrome All Bookmarks Folder

In this guide, we will show you the steps to remove the All Bookmarks Folder from Google Chrome. When it comes to testing out new features and implementing them, then Google is probably the last entity that you would want to interact with. Since there is no dedicated beta testing in their books- whatever change they wish to introduce, they would do so straightaway for all its users. And going by its track records, things don’t mostly end up on the brighter side.

The latest one to further cement this statement is the unwanted introduction of the All Bookmarks Folder section in Google Chrome. Not only does it tend to take up unnecessary space in the bookmark bar section thereby preventing you from adding a couple of additional bookmarks], but this section would also appear even if there are no bookmarks in the Other Bookmarks section [well, this is really hard to explain].

Fortunately, there does exist a nifty workaround using you could remove all the All Bookmarks Folder section from Google Chrome. So without further ado, let’s show you how this could be carried out.

UPDATE: Google Responds

Well, Google has now responded and is “working to make this less obtrusive. An upcoming version of Chrome will return to only displaying All Bookmarks if you have items in your Other Bookmarks folder”. This is a half-baked solution, meaning that this section will be removed for only those users who don’t have any bookmarks in the Others Bookmarks section. If you have some bookmarks in the Others Bookmarks section but don’t wish to have this All Bookmarks section, then you will still have to remain dependent on our aforementioned Chrome flag tweak.
