I noticed that my Google Chrome bookmark bar along the top of the screen had disappeared. It would only reappear on certain web sites such as the Home page. I guess I must have hit something accidentally to make it do this.
Luckily, it was a simple solution to bring the bookmark bar back. Just use these keystroke combinations:
- Windows and Linux: Hold down the “CTRL” and “Shift” keys while pressing “B“, to make the bar reappear.
- Mac : Hold down the “Command” and “Shift” keys while pressing “B“.
The bookmark toolbar should now stay in place. You can use the same keystrokes (which you may accidentally hit from time to time) to toggle it back and forth and remove the bar if you’d like to browse the web in a bigger window.
If the Chrome bookmark bar keeps disappearing, check a setting using these steps:
- Select the “Menu”
button in the upper-right corner, then choose “Settings“. - In the “Appearance” section, turn the “Show the bookmarks bar” option to “On“.

Another possible problem is that sync turned off. Click you initial or avatar in the top right of the screen and if in the menu it says, “Turn sync on” it means that Google is running a different type of log in that is not synced to you Google account, and this is why the bookmarks and other important stuff like alternate log ins and stored passwords aren’t working, Check “Turn sync on’ and that might fix it,

A friend’s Favorites/Bookmark bar disappeared. Clicking on the three dots, then on Bookmarks when that pops up, It has a check mark in front of Show bookmarks bar.
On the Settings/Appearance menu, shown in your article, the Show bookmarks bar is on (to the right, as you show), but the Bookmarks bar does not appear.
