By reducing your bookmarks to show only the icons, you can access more of them from the Bookmarks bar. This works great for sites with recognizable favicons like Gmail, Google Calendar, etc.


1. Open Google Chrome.

2. Right-click a bookmark on the Bookmarks bar.

3. Select Edit.

4. Go to the Name textbox and remove the text.

5. Click OK.

Repeat for all existing bookmarks that you want to display as icons only. When adding a new bookmark to the bar, simply remove the Name text before clicking Close.

    I wish one could assign a favicon just like in FF? (example: Bookmark on Delicious -- how can I assign an icon to that script link?)

    Only problem with removing they cannot be exported. The export option in chrome bookmark manager will show nothing under Bookmark Bar. Other than that it's not a problem.
  • This is what I do, it's really nice.
