Description

Click to hide titles of your bookmarks. Click again to restore them.

Click to hide titles of your bookmarks.
Click again to restore them.
Tune hiding behavior in Options.

PRO TIP: for the safety of your bookmarks please backup them before the very first use of the extension - howto: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/96816?hl=en
Why? Actually the extension removes (not simply hides!) titles from the bookmarks and stores them in Extension's memory for future restoration. It means that if you use Chrome Sync, bookmarks on your other devices will be affected. If your Chrome crashes for some reason, it's possible that you'll be left without a way to restore bookmark titles. You've been warned ;).

PRO TIP 2: before uninstalling the extension (but why would you?!), use it to show the bookmark titles back. Otherwise the titles will be lost.**

Feel free to ask questions.

Enjoy your new aesthetic bookmarks bar!

I just tried this and it works. It just removes the 'Title/Name' on each bookmark and restores it. But it has an option to only hide the titles on the bookmark bar, and not dropdown folders or the bookmark manager. And that doesn't work.

I've been using this extension for years; does exactly what I want. Thank you!

This extension saves a copy of all bookmark titles to its internal database, it does NOT "hide" anything. It deletes the the titles when you click its icon, and, as long as you have not removed the extension, it replaces the titles from its database. Such a brute force extension. Not the least bit elegant-- I suppose that's not what the dev is going for. To ask the user to remember to do something before removing the extension is not viable, so there's nothing "Pro" about this little app, even if the dev uses that word in the description.
