Maple Bookmarks

Hide the bookmark bar, use Maple Bookmarks to surf smoothly.

Introduction

The bookmarks bar can occupy the browsing window and affect concentration, so I often hide it. However, this makes accessing bookmarks inconvenient. Therefore, I developed the Maple Bookmarks extension. By just using the shortcut, you can quickly access your bookmarks, even input can be searched instantly, which is practical and convenient.

🏂 More effects can be expanded to view.

Installation

• Install Maple Bookmarks from the Chrome Web Store, If you are a Firefox user, please install and use Firefox Addon. If you find it useful, we'd appreciate your review.
• If you're unable to access the Chrome Web Store, you can download Maple.zip. After unzipping, refer to Loading an unpacked extension to use the local package.

More

1. Due to Chrome's limitations, even if the bookmarks bar is hidden, it will still appear on the default tab page. At this time, you can use Maple NewTab to replace the default tab page, thus completely hiding the bookmarks bar.
2. Maple NewTab currently supports four types of displays: Blank pure page,Unsplash,Trendy weekly picture, and Bing image. Place the cursor on the background image, wait for 2 seconds, and a switch box will appear. Click to switch.
3. If you prefer your current tab page, you can remove the Maple NewTab extension. This way, you can revert to the default tab page.

White Theme

Since the default new theme of Chrome is not very appealing to me, I prefer a simple and clean effect, so I developed a Maple Theme on the side. It doesn't include any other messy colors, making your browser look very clean.
