ルイ (ID: 000000d1a0d23e17) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/27/2022 とりあえず入れたばかりですが機能しました。vivaldiで他のbookmark swicherが機能しなかったので助かります

Blaž Zupančič (ID: 000000a16ac8010a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/13/2022 I love this extention. My only complaint seems to be, that it doesn't remember which bookmark folder it took from the last time, if you close the session or switch devices. It creates a new folder Current bookmarks bar for me every time...

Tyler Milio (ID: 0000004eb66a4feb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/31/2022 Exactly what I was looking for! I normally use Opera, works great, but have to install the "Install Chrome Extensions" extension. In order to add a bookmark you need to: 1) swap to the desired bookmark bar 2) set bookmark under **the regular bookmark bar** You will then be able to swap between bookmark bars without having the cross-mix of the two.
