Earlier, we used to have bookmarks to keep track of the page we were reading in our favorite book. It ensured that the next time we open the book, we don’t have to start searching again from square one. Following the same, the mobile bookmarks help us to continue browsing from the spot we left off from.
Similarly, Google Chrome and all other browsers have this feature of bookmarking or adding to the favorites list. This helps to keep the website link handy and easily accessible. Especially at workspace when we work on a particular project or tool that we use very often, we have to visit the page again and again. Hence, bookmarking that page link makes it easy to follow the path.
The other day my mother was reading an article that she needed for research later. Since she was unaware of the mobile bookmarks feature on chrome, she had to search for the URL again and again. When I saw her struggling with the same, I decided to help her with mobile bookmarks.

Hello.
I have a Bookmark problem since this morning. Samsung A20e, Chrome browser, Android 10.
There were 8 Bookmarks under the Search Bar, Now there are only 6 and there is more space between them. I tried a lot but couldn’t find the solution to get all 8 of them back. Is this something about Chrome or is some glitch in my cellphone?
Thanks in advance 🙂
Hello Borislav, looks like a browser issue. You can try clearing the data from chrome and re-login with the same Google account.
By any chance did you check on your computer? If the issue persists on the chrome computer as well?
Hello Kushal, i’m not using Chrome on my computer, only on cellphone. Tried it now, cleared it all, re-logged in Google Account again but it doesn’t show a single bookmark on the Chrome anymore. When i tap three dots there is “Bookmarks” but i can’t get them on the Home screen again…? It’s black background, white Google letters and a search bar but under it there is nothing…
Thank you for your help, i’ll try more, maybe i find something, somehow… 🙂
Hello Borislav, the icons below the search bar are known as Quick Links and they’re dynamic in nature. Most visited sites on our browser are added as quick links that we cannot control. We can just remove the links. Maybe the sites that you’re no longer visiting have been automatically removed.
Yes, I agree with the fact that Google should give the open to add links but currently, it’s not supported. The only way using the chrome bookmarks to access favorite sites.
