Google is introducing a bookmarks bar to Chrome on Android tablets and foldable devices, giving users quicker access to their saved websites and making the browser feel more like its desktop version.
The bookmarks bar appears directly beneath the address bar and shows icons or names of bookmarked sites. This allows users to open frequently visited pages instantly, instead of searching for them through Chrome’s bookmarks menu.
The change may seem small, but it could make a noticeable difference for people who regularly rely on bookmarks to browse the web. With the new bar, users can keep their most important websites visible at all times.
Chrome also allows users to organise bookmarks into folders on the bar, making it easier to manage a large number of saved links. If there are too many bookmarks to fit on the screen, users can tap an arrow at the end of the bar to view the remaining ones.
The feature is part of a recent Chrome update and can be activated from the browser’s settings under the “Appearance” menu. Once enabled, the bookmarks bar will remain visible during browsing.
However, the feature is primarily designed for devices with larger displays. As a result, it may not appear on standard smartphones with smaller screens.
Tablets and foldable phones are increasingly used for productivity, reading and multitasking, and features like a bookmarks bar help create a more computer-like browsing experience.
