There are users of Google Chrome who are having serious problems with the browser. You may find that your Chrome bookmark bar missing and vanishes out of nowhere. Even with the “Show” option selected on the bookmarks bar, this will still occur. The bookmark bar will vanish on its own. Users have occasionally claimed that the bookmarks bar was visible to them, but only when they launched a new tab. Every time users navigate to a website or run a search, the bookmarks bar vanishes.
What makes the Chrome bookmark bar missing vanish?
This is the explanation behind the loss of your bookmark.
Disabled/Unchecked Display Bookmarks Bar menu item: The default behavior of Google Chrome is what makes your bookmarks bar disappear. It’s not a browser bug or problem; rather, it’s a configuration error with the bookmarks bar. Google Chrome will only display the Chrome bookmark missing momentarily if you haven’t enabled the “Always show bookmarks bar” option. It’s during this fleeting instant that you open a new tab.
Method 1: Use the Bookmarks Bar to Display the Bookmarks Bar
Just turn on the “Show bookmark bar” option to fix your Chrome bookmark bar missing. The bookmarks bar itself has an option for turning on the feature. Take the actions listed below.
- Launch the Chrome browser.
- To view the bookmarks bar, open a new tab.
- Right-click the bookmarks bar and choose “Show bookmark bar” when it appears.
That is all. If you set this option to true, the bookmarks bar will always be visible.
Method 2: To display the bookmarks bar, use shortcut keys.
The bookmarks bar can be turned on or off using the shortcut keys. To use Google Chrome, just open it and hit the CTRL, SHIFT, and B keys at the same time (CTRL + SHIFT + B). This should make the bookmarks bar always visible option available.
