I've been using Chrome for quite a while and had a very long list of bookmarks, arranged (as seems to be the default) from oldest at the top, to most recent at the bottom. All was right with the world. Until a few minutes ago, when my finger twitched for a millisecond and accidentally clicked on the "sort by name" function. But I don't want them sorted by name. I thought, no big deal: surely, Chrome's bookmark manager will have a "sort by date created" function so I can just change it back to the way it was. I mean, wouldn't it be stupid and evil to design this as some kind of irreversible operation!? But shockingly, I can't find any way to restore the bookmark sort back to the default chronological one. While the sort was happening, an "undo" prompt came up, but my system was completely locked during the sort, so clicking on it had no effect. How do I fix this? And why does Chrome do stuff like this without so much as an "Are you sure? This change is not reversible!" prompt? Edit: crisis averted, as I was able to go into my Chrome UserData folder, rename the current bookmarks file, and use the backup bookmark file to restore the order. We now return to the program already in progress. Number_6 fucked around with this message at 08:00 on May 4, 2019 |

I don't think you can undo it, but you can just sort them by hand. You may want to make some folders if you really have a lot.

He said it was a long list of bookmarks and then he said it was so long his system was frozen while it was sorting them by name. Something tells me sorting by hand is not a workable solution.

If the number of bookmarks is so large that it does that to your system, then you're doing it wrong and you don't actually have a functional list of bookmarks. If you have to scroll through a loving list for several seconds to find a bookmark, you're defeating the point. At best, you can use the contents of the bookmarks list as shortcuts by typing in the search bar (what is it called now, Omnibar or something like that?) and Chrome will offer suggestions from your bookmarks. In that case, though, the actual order of bookmarks in the list no longer matters. But yeah, dude, you have to clean up your bookmarks because having every site on the Web bookmarked isn't doing you any favors.

I actually gave up on bookmarks years ago. It's too much of a time sink to keep them organized and usable. Whatever shows up on the new tab page is good enough. For anything else, Google can find what I want to find, and if I'm worried about not being able to find it again the site goes into

I think bookmarks are fine if you're using the omnibar or some sort of extension that lets you easily type in what you want, such as Vimium. I'm pretty sure I have over 100 bookmarks but I can easily find what I want by typing  .

Bookmarks should be curated. The ones I have are useful and relevant. Keep in mind that your browser history will store everything you've ever seen. Also use folders. If you need a clear out they are quick to delete

I used to use folders and keep everything well cultivated but at some point post 2009 I just stopped caring. I think it was the recipe blogs that did me in. My largest folder is "food" and I think I just need to purge it and start over. (I'll keep the bookmarks to All About Birds ID pages for the birds I think I see in our neighborhood, though.)

The autocomplete feature of omnibar does a pretty near perfect job of getting you where you want to go between your bookmarks and history, and I use ChromeOS most of time so it will also search spreadsheets and documents that I'm looking for. There's little reason to click a bookmark anymore unless it's one of the handful you can fit on the bar up at the top.

Bookmark bar full of favicon-only bookmarks. Specific articles/ pages that I consider important go into Keep (or pepperplate, if recipies), everything else I should bulk-delete at this point, just haven't gotten around to it.

Is there any way to get the tabs for chrome on iOS to be backed up somewhere, because despite being linked to a google account and linked to Chrome on my laptop, the app just crashed on my phone and all my tabs are gone, with nothing in the recently closed or history sections on either phone or laptop. I set up the linked accounts because about 6 months ago I accidentally closed them all without it being linked to any account, and I'm loving pissed it happened again like this

Is there a way to re-open a window with a bunch of tabs in it that wasn't recently closed? Family member decided that the best way to use my computer is by closing a window I've opened a while ago with pending tasks. I don't see "23 tabs recently closed" in history - is there a way to recover the window in question?

So I guess Google feels threatened by Chredge, otherwise I don't see why they started copying the new UI pages that Edge introduced. Since they're not that Material Design to begin with.

Lambert posted:They should copy the tab mute feature. They had it before Safari as a flag. They removed it. "we don't want to implement the special UI chrome for it". Then Safari implemented it like the original flag behavior. Then they reintroduced it. Sorta. Then they screwed with its semantics. It's just an indicator. Then Edgium reintroduced the Safari-like tab mute.

Anything to do about this? It's really annoying because autocomplete website URL is how I visit pages I go to constantly, including this one. Now its some random search I typed in once

And they just switched to chromium because they didn't want to spend the money to maintain their own browser engine anymore. They've already decided browser market share isn't worth fighting over. I don't see them taking a big pro-adblocking stand. A better hope for chrome-based browsers is Opera & Vivaldi. It sounds like the unlimited webrequest function will still be in the source, so it probably won't be difficult to keep turned on.

also to clarify, they are not blocking webRequest they are adding a new method called "declarativeNetRequest" which will allow for adblock like functionality except most extensions will have to be rewritten and the rules right now seem to be limited to 30000. for reference. the easylist that comes with ublock is about 70000 rules if i remember right.

Importantly, it only allows the user to have a list of ABP-style rules and addons won't be able to dynamically decide if something should be filtered. This will completely break uBlock Origin's dynamic mode and uMatrix. It also doesn't allow for domain-specific filter rules if I understand correctly. e: It also breaks things like stripping cookies for requests send to certain domains, so tracking cookies will be harder to avoid after this change.
