This extension adds a button to Chrome in the top right corner (next to the “three-dot” settings button). When you click the button you get a tree of your bookmarks with folders that you can open and close by clicking them. A simple -non obtrusive- sliding animation is applied to the opening and closing of folders.
You can open bookmarks in the following ways:
– click: open in current tab
– middle-click (scrollwheel): open in new tab and close minimal bookmarks tree
– ctrl+click: open in new tab and keep minimal bookmarks tree open
You can also right click a folder and click “Open all” to open all bookmarks in that folder in tabs.
Right click also let’s you edit/delete bookmarks and folders.
The tree uses simple folder icons that show their state (open/close) and also shows the favicons for the websites you’ve bookmarked.
The extension remembers which folders were open, so you can leave your favorite folders open at all times.
Additionally the extension enables you to search through your bookmarks and bookmark folders easily by entering ‘bm’ into the URL bar (or “omnibox” as chrome calls it) and then type your search terms. It is not and will not be possible to search in the popup window itself because this wouldn’t add anything to the extension; it would just duplicate behaviour.
The extension needs permission to view and edit your bookmarks, but will only ever edit bookmarks if you instruct it to, it will never change bookmarks on its own.
Minimal bookmarks tree is completely open source and available on github: https://github.com/rpkamp/chrome-minimal-bookmarks-tree
Any and all suggestions are welcome!
Άψογο !! Το έχω ήδη 3 χρόνια …δεν το αλλάζω!
Great bookmarks menu extension!
No search field.
Currently the best bookmarks menu for the menu bar on Chrome at the moment! Thank you for creating this.
The best thing
– you can open all the url under the subfolder too, even few deep subfolder. this feature is not easily found on other bookmark extension
Thing that need to improve to make it great
– able to create folder
– Stay on, after u select a bookmark to open. this is useful because sometime u want to open multiple url at different folder or subfolder.
– make the popup look longer, there is limiation of 600px only. why so little
– Copy URL and able to duplicate it at other folder or subfolder.
– Able to have search field (this is very important man…)
sehr gut. Vielen Dank
It is what I was looking for. Unfortunately it opens all the subfolder with this option disabled.
I love this bookmark menu, especially the optional dark theme.
The only thing I would like to add is an option to keep the menu open when clicking on bookmarks. It’s very useful when I am simply glancing at multiple sites for driver updates and not having to reopen the bookmark menu each time to find my last spot.
Is it me stupid or the extension? Can’t use any navigation keys?! (Chrome on Debian). Bummer!
Was hoping to use with Edge, but the interface doesn’t always respond well to mouse scrolls and getting bookmarks to launch or folders to open. Might be a limitation of Edge not sure. Have not used this extension in Chrome so might be fine there. I do appreciate the effort though!
Simple and clean!
I’d suggest making the open star icon and a nice sans serif font as the default so to match chrome’s aesthetics and to show the idea of minimalistic (the book with the bookmark doesn’t look “minimal”).
Good stuff anyway!
Nice extension, really like all the customization options. There’s one irritating issue however: site icons keeps reloading each time I open the menu (which is quite often).
Best bookmark app I have used.
Update: Been using for over 2 years and still the best bookmark tree extension I could find! The only thing I saw from another bookmark tree that was nice, is a small bar at the bottom to show the web address of the bookmark you highlighted (mouseover). Whether this is ever added or not, this is still the best bookmark extension. Thanks again for your hard work!
Great extension! Only function I personally need is to have a “default unfolded directory” selection. I have a “bookmark bar” folder which I want it to be unfolded by default. Do you think this is something that’s relatively easy to implement?
great!
fantastic extension!! i like it so much!
just have one advice. i have clicked start with folders closed, and it’s convenient. however, there are some folders i usually need to use, so i want to keep these folders open. can you help me solve this problem? thank you very much.
Perfect
Been using this extension for a while now, pretty happy with it. There are a number of extensions like it and I think this one is a fork of an older extension no longer maintained. I like this one the best because it has a good handful of features (how many features does this really need?) without bloat, fast, clean, simple to use. Many thanks to the developer for continuing to maintain this extension!
Лучшее, что пока нашел!!!
I’m using with NEW Edge, as test.
Очень хорошие закладки, правда иногда не открывает подменю закладок – при клике по папке значок раскрывается, но закладки не выводит. Надеюсь, починят когда-нибудь…
同时满足“记录滚动位置”“中键不会错误的打开两个标签”“中键打开文件夹内所有书签”真是太难得了
It lags (freezes for a second) on expand animation. Maybe you want to fix that.
Doesn’t require excessive permissions 👍👍👍👍
I can open a whole folder with middle mouse button 👍👍
Folders stay open 👍 (Optional)
I like it. 5 stars. But if is possible would you add option to change height to 600+?
