This was without a doubt the worst user experience I have encountered in a long time. I had to use some awful and clunky, dynamic drop-down-style interface to select which folder to move them to. I couldn’t bulk select a group of bookmarks: I would have to click each bookmark separately. The sort alphabetically option was missing.Truly awful user experienceīut with the new, redesigned bookmarks manager this was virtually impossible to do: I often bulk-select items with shift + click. Then I organise these bookmarks into 3 sub-folders: Then every day or two I sort the bookmarks (A–Z) so that the sub-folders move to the top, and I can find the bookmarked page titles more easily. Whenever I spot something useful I quickly bookmark it to a folder called “Check out”. And then started my out-loud commentary to the rest of the office about just how awful an experience it was. And I’m generally in favour of Google’s aim to standardise the look and feel of their web applications (whether Chrome OS, web-based, or Android).īut then I tried to reorganise my bookmarks.Īs silly as it sounds, I genuinely began to panic.

Google is ripping out Chrome’s awful new bookmark manager I’ve updated the blog title to make it clear that this post was referring specifically to Chrome 42. It has the Material design but it now works the way I expect it to. Google have again updated the bookmark manager and this time it’s really rather good.
