Chrome 117, the latest version of the desktop browser, has finally removed the unnecessary “All Bookmarks” reminder from the Bookmarks Bar. This is a welcome change for many users who found the reminder to be disruptive and annoying.
The “All Bookmarks” reminder was introduced in the earlier Chrome 117 version as part of the Material You redesign. Tapping on it would trigger a prompt to open the Side Panel to view all bookmarks.
This reminder was meant to educate users about the new bookmark location in the Side Panel. However, many users found that the reminder took up valuable space on the Bookmarks Bar and disrupted their carefully arranged bookmarks.
Now, as Google has released Chrome 117.0.5938.132 update, the “All Bookmarks” reminder has been removed, freeing up space on the Bookmarks Bar. Chrome 117 also includes 10 security bug fixes.
Google is slowly adding Material You components to the desktop platform, albeit more slowly than to ChromeOS. However, it won’t be long before we have a similar theming experience across all Google products and services.
For those who are unaware, Material You is Google’s new theming engine that it launched in 2021 with Android 12. It has been spreading to many Android apps since then, but the dynamic interface theming option was initially limited to Google’s own platforms. However, Google started to introduce Material You to other services, such as Chrome, with Canary build version 110. This brings Material You to Mac, Windows, ChromeOS, and Linux.
