  • As of now, there isn't a direct way to fix this besides through using chrome extensions.
    Here is a link to secure bookmarks

      They focus on speed and adding options like this clutters the browser and slows it down. The customizability of chrome comes almost purely from extensions. They're not going to slow everyone down for the few people who want this option. Those few people can find an extension and decide for themselves if the clutter is worth it. I will definitely be trying this extension out.

    Unfortunately, I did not find this easy to use. If I was starting from scratch, sure, or only had a few dozen bookmarks. If I could have simply dragged my existing bookmarks in instead of having to redo them all, I'd use this. But honestly, there's lower tech, lower effort ways to do this if you already have hundreds of bookmarks:
    -Use firefox for inappropriate bookmarks, or a browser other users are less likely to login to. Then you can use Chrome when other people are looking over your shoulder. Not to mention I believe Firefox itself has more options/extensions right out of the gate for hiding these, so bonus
    -Use a different windows profile for inappropriate bookmarks
    -If you know someone will login or you have to share, export your bookmarks, delete them all (if you've got a single subfolder, then a bunch of subs versus putting everything in the main bookmarks, this would be faster). Reimport them when the other user is done. It sounds like work, but honestly, it takes about a minute

  • @johnmaster4361

    guys another fix could be to just sign into a second gmail in chrome (without it having bookmarks) and use that one for browsing.
    Close chrome and reopen and it will ask you which account you want to browse with. this is where you can between your 2 accounts to get your bookmarks back or continue without them showing up(using the second account).
    to use incognito mode, make sure you select the proper account before opening incognito mode.
    to switch between accounts. makes sure you have all (non incognito) chrome windows closed
