Second Bookmark Bar

The extra bookmark row Chrome never shipped.

Because Chrome extensions cannot add a real second native bookmark row, Second Bookmark Bar shows your chosen bookmark folder as a compact bar above web pages, so your most useful links stay visible and easy to reach.

It is built for people who live in their browser and want faster access to bookmarks without turning Chrome into a heavy sidebar or a complicated dashboard.
