Chrome bookmarks or favorites are great for keeping useful information in an easy-to-find area. Over time, you may have so many favorites that you lose sight of the most important ones, so knowing how to manage them is essential. The following tips will show you how to manage Chrome bookmarks and delete the ones you no longer need.

ORGANIZE CHROME BOOKMARKS BY FOLDER ON THE PC
Having your Chrome bookmarks separated into folders makes them much easier to find. For example, you can create a folder with just tech-related bookmarks in one folder and cooking recipes in another.
This way, instead of wasting time scrolling through your favorites, you can go directly to the theme folder where your favorite is located.
First, you will have to create a folder to put your bookmarks. To create a folder:
- Right-click on “Favorites Manager.”
- Enter the three-dot menu and then select “Add new folder.”
- Now give your folder a name and click the blue save button at the bottom.
Immediately after clicking save, your new folder will appear to the right of the last one in the favorites bar. If you already have some folders in your bookmarks bar but need to move some bookmarks to another folder, you’ll have to drag and drop them.
