Clean up your Bookmarks
A great organizational strategy is to clean up the bookmarks you no longer need on your Chrome bookmark bar. Click on the 3 dots in the top right-hand corner and then click on Bookmarks > Bookmark Manager. On the left-hand tab, make sure you have clicked Bookmarks Bar. If you no longer need the bookmarks, delete them by right clicking the bookmark and then selecting delete.
Renaming Bookmarks & Using Emojis
Perhaps the very long name of a bookmark does not serve your needs and you'd like to rename it to better meet your purposes. Simply right-click the bookmark and click edit to rename.
You might consider also creating a visual cue by adding an emoji to the name of your bookmark. You can add a book to an article, a letter to your email, or a heart to a favorite site etc. Simply use an emoji keyboard like emojikeyboard.io. Copy the emoji and paste it into the name of the bookmark.
Creating Bookmark Favicons
Are you a person who simply needs a visual cue? If that's the case consider deleting the name of the bookmark entirely. This will leave a favicon (symbol/logo for a website) in your bookmark bar. Most websites have different favicons, which makes them easily recognizable. You might consider organizing your favicons by frequency of use, topic or color.
Using Bookmark Folders
Organize your bookmarks into folders. This is helpful in keeping sites for the same project, unit of study or content area all grouped together.
Right-click on your bookmark bar and click add folder. You will be asked to name the folder and click save.
To manage bookmarks, click on the 3 dots in the upper-right hand corner. Click bookmarks > bookmark manager. Here you can drag and organize your bookmarks into your new folders.
