About this extension
Bookmark Bar Switcher — one bookmark bar per context, switched in a click.

Your browser only shows one bookmark bar, so everything ends up crammed into a single crowded row: work links next to personal ones next to that project you touch twice a month. Bookmark Bar Switcher lets you keep as many separate bars as you like — "Work", "Personal", "Project Foo", "Reading" — and swap the one you need onto the toolbar. The active bar looks and behaves exactly like your normal bar; the rest wait out of sight until you switch.

MULTIPLE BARS, ONE CLICK
Keep a bar for every context and switch between them from a popup picker or a keyboard shortcut. Only the bookmarks for what you're doing right now are ever on screen. Create, rename, reorder, and delete bars from a simple Settings page — a bar can hold nested folders, not just flat links.

SHARED BOOKMARKS WITH A COMMON BAR
Flag any bar as "common" and pull it into the other bars you choose. Its bookmarks merge into each bar folder by folder, and the common stays the single source of truth: edit it once and every bar that uses it updates. The handful of links you want everywhere — mail, calendar, a shared team folder — live in one place instead of being copied into each context by hand. This is the feature no other bookmark switcher offers.

SAFE ACROSS ALL YOUR COMPUTERS
If you sign into the same browser on more than one machine, other switchers scramble your bars — because they move bookmarks in and out of a toolbar that itself syncs, so two computers fight over it. Bookmark Bar Switcher never moves your saved bars. Switching only copies a master set onto a disposable toolbar, and which bar is active is remembered per machine, not synced. Nothing mutable is shared between computers, so autosync has nothing to collide on. Your bars stay intact everywhere.

SWITCH THE WAY YOU LIKE
Open the popup for a visual picker, or drive it entirely from the keyboard: cycle with Ctrl+Down / Ctrl+Up, or jump straight to a bar with Ctrl+Shift+1 and 2. Twelve commands in all — bind your own keys for direct jumps to bars 3 through 10.

BACK UP AND MOVE BARS
Export any bar to its own JSON file and import it back as a new dated copy. Import always adds a bar — it never overwrites the one you already have — so restoring a backup is always safe. Use it to move bars between Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, or to keep a snapshot before a big reorganization.

Works in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Interface available in 27 languages. No account and no sign-up — it works with your normal browser bookmarks.
