How to open bookmarks from right-click menu in Chrome [Tip]

By default, Chrome has already provided a keyboard shortcut for your bookmarks. Speaking of which, if you press Ctrl + Shift + O, then you can open and view your bookmarks manager. If you press Ctrl + Shift + B, then you’ll be able to hide or show your browser’s bookmarks bar.

Now, what if you’re someone who likes to browse on full screen? Keeping the bookmarks bar on top of every page that you visit would be quite annoying. Aside from that, you won’t be able to see the actual tabs. This makes it difficult for you to switch between pages just so you could open your bookmarks manager.

Anyways, there’s no need for you to fret. You can just opt to open and access your bookmarks from your right-click context menu. Just read the steps listed below to learn how.
