Google Chrome Bookmarks button tip

The bookmarks toolbar takes precious space, so I recommend to access to your bookmarks quickly just adding a button.

How-to

1. Your computer must be running on a Windows.
2. Right-click the shortcut you use to open and run Google Chrome. From the menu, select “Properties”. We are now going add a command line option that will let you use the feature.
3. Make sure you’re on the “Shortcut” tab.In “Target:”, add ” –bookmark-menu” to the end of what is already there. Make sure you typed exactly how I did. Don’t forget the space before the start of the command. On my computer, it’s like this:

   “C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” –bookmark-menu

4. Do this to all other shortcuts available that you may open Chrome with (QuickLaunch, Start Menu, and Desktop).

And you will get something like this:

If you are using Linux, you can do almost the same with this extension.
