Shade Hades (ID: 0000001e164f8abe) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/19/2022 omg, this extension's abandoned potential to make Chrome exactly how I want it brings me to tears :`( for years I used Cent Browser (chrome-based) primarily because it had a perfectly designed built-in Auto-Hide Bookmark Bar feature... the problem was that the author abandoned the browser, so it fell behind Chrome's updates until newer addons wouldn't work on it I switched to Chrome Dev and thought that was the end of it... but, no! Fluid Bookmark re-opened the pain of losing the useful Auto-Hide Bookmark Bar feature in Chrome... argh!
