For many, the new Chrome bookmark manager is a menace.
For one, it’s slow. On my Fujitsu dual core Laptop, it takes 8-10 seconds to pop up after I press the star (bookmark) button on Google Chrome. If you were wondering how to disable or change back from the new Google Chrome bookmark manager, you’ve come to the right place.
Enter the following in the Chrome address bar: chrome://flags/
Search for Enable Enhanced Bookmarks Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android
Change the option from Default to Disabled.
Restart your browser.
You’ll notice that you have successfully fixed the issue and changed from the new Google Chrome bookmark manager to the old one.
