"Edit Bookmark" option missing from bookmark context menu in Chrome


What happened to the "edit bookmark" option in Chrome's bookmark manager context menu?

I'm not sure when this option disappeared, but I believe you used to be able to edit the URL and other bookmark manager things from the top-level bookmark context menu.

I no longer see a URL field for the bookmark, nor the bookmark manager shortcut in the top-level context menu.

I assume this was disabled in some Chromium release. Is there a config option or extension that restores this feature?

2024/05 Update

No flag-based solution works for either Chromium or Brave

Neither Chromium's chrome://flags/#power-bookmarks-side-pane nor Brave's brave://flags/#power-bookmark-backend will change UI.

Shortly after posting this question I returned to using Firefox, but for others looking for a fix here, you may want to consider some kind of browser extension (and please share any good ones!).


Solution

  • There is still a way to activate it. You can go to this address, chrome://flags/#power-bookmarks-side-panel and disable it. After that, and relaunching Chrome, you should get the "more" option when you click on the star that permits you to change the URL.
