Safari: How Do I Hide the Bookmarks Bar?

If you have been reading tech-recipes for a while, you know how valuable I consider my screen real estate. I want my browsers running lean and clean. I just realized how easy it was to remove the annoying Safari Bookmarks Bar that just hangs out under the Address Bar. This will work on Windows or Mac systems.

Do people actually even use bookmarks anymore? Maybe so, but I certainly do not need a whole extra toolbar of my bookmarks just cluttering up things.

I’ve tested this in both Safari for Windows and Safari on OS X.

Here’s what the bookmark toolbar looks like:

To get rid of it, do the following:

1. Click the View Menu
2. Click Hide Bookmarks Bar

Are you kidding me? It’s that simple. Geesh!
