The provided information references creating a colored icon and dragging it to the bookmarks bar. This is one method for creating a visual separator. Here's a breakdown of how to add visual separators in Chrome:
This method focuses on creating visual dividers by using favicon separators in Chrome's bookmarks bar.
Creating a Bookmark Separator:
-
Choose an Icon: Find a small, visually distinct icon online (like a colored square or line). You can also use a tool like Favicon.io or similar online favicon generators to create your own.
-
Create a Bookmark: Right-click on the bookmarks bar and select "Add Page...".
-
Name the Bookmark: Give the bookmark a name consisting only of hyphens or dashes (e.g., "---" or "----------"). This name will often disappear visually as long as there's a favicon.
-
Change the URL: In the URL field, enter
javascript:void(0). This makes the bookmark do nothing when clicked. -
Change the Favicon: Right-click the newly created bookmark, and select "Edit". Copy the URL of the icon you want to use. Paste the copied favicon URL in the "URL" section instead of javascript:void(0). Save.
-
Drag and Position: Drag the new separator bookmark to the desired location in your bookmarks bar.
Alternative Method: Empty Bookmarks
A simple alternative is to create bookmarks with an empty name and a URL of javascript:void(0). This will create a blank space but doesn't offer the visual distinctiveness of an icon.
- Add a Page: Right-click on your bookmarks bar and choose "Add Page...".
- Leave the Name Field Empty: Do not enter anything into the "Name" field.
- Enter
javascript:void(0)as the URL: In the URL field, typejavascript:void(0). This ensures the bookmark does nothing when clicked. - Save and Position: Click "Save" and then drag your new separator to where you want it.
Note: These methods are workarounds, as Chrome doesn't have a built-in "separator" feature in the bookmarks bar.
