It's entirely possible you didn't even know Google Chrome had a bookmark menu -- a compact drop-down to access your favorite websites which was a nice alternative to the bookmark bar. I've seen plenty of gripes in our comments on Chrome posts from users wishing there was one there... when it's been there for ages, hidden behind the --bookmark-menu flag.

But now that you know about it, don't get too excited. The bookmark menu option has been nixed in a recent Chromium source code update and could very well disappear in the next round of updates to Chrome's official channels. I've got to think that more Chrome users would've utilized the menu if there had ever been, say, an option under the wrench menu or in the options tabs.

The good news is it's working for now on the beta and stable builds, so enable away and enjoy it while you can -- here's how to do it!

Using Google Chrome's bookmark menu? Get ready to kiss it goodbye. originally appeared on Download Squad on Fri, 02 Jul 2010 12:00:00 EST.
