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, check the “Always show the bookmarks bar” option.
thanks – reversed what my cat managed to do (no instructions needed for her!)
she is also really good at changing the screen orientation (confusing on a laptop) that I have worked out
She can also change the screen resolution with a shortcut key combination – I have to go into the menus to resolve that one!
Got me worried Thank you so much!
Worked like a charm! Thank you so much!!
All my important bookmarks disappeared when the tool bar disappeared. I have XP so I guess they are trying to force me to upgrade, which I’m not going to do. Is there somehow I can get it back?
