Need Help with Bookmark in Chrome

Hi all.


I need to some help pls from the tech savvy.


I use Chrome. In the url bar, there used to be a yellow star top right with which by a simple click I could add and manage my bookmarks. It has disappeared. I tried all other extensions Chrome offer, but no success there. I reinstalled Chrome from scratch. To no avail. Any suggestion please?

Yes, Zonker is a star on Glocals.


I am sure other members can be of invaluable help as well.


I tried all the trisks suggested on Google, even reinitiating original parameters, nothing goes, the star is gone! I did a system restauration as well.

OMG! I can't answer any of these questions. I just redownloaded Chrome today, so the latest I presume. I don't know what happened, speed dial colours have changed and the star is gone. Yes I restarted my computer several times. I do have a gmail account. I don't sync my computer and my ipad.


 


Thanks for trying to help :)

By the way, if admins could add a "correct/amend" button to the forum, it would be great.


In the meantime, excuse the typos, it's getting late.

Hi! Thanks for enquiring! No, I was unable to restore the "star" but I finally dowloaded another bookmarking extension, quite similar, so that works for me too.

I've just had a look at Chrome on both Windowns and Mac - the star is there in both (latest) versions.


If it's not there for you, then either a stetting in Chrome has turned it off (such as an extension which manages bookmarks instead of the built-in manager) or something like malware is preventing it.


I just did a Google Search: "google chrome bookmark star is missing" and the first answer seems to be what you want.

Hi Zonker. Thanks for taking the time to search and share. Unfortunately, it is one of the first things I tried, to no avail. I have now downloaded another extension from chrome ap store, and it's ok.
