Getting the Tools and Toolbar Back When Hidden
Sometimes the toolbar in Chrome can get hidden, and you may not even realize it. If you take a look at the top of your browser window, you will see no sign of the address bar, bookmarks, and extension toolbar. Well, don’t worry; the toolbar is still there; it’s just been hidden.
Google Chrome hides the toolbar when you are full screen so that you can have more space to work on your web pages. But, if you find that you need the toolbar, it’s easy to get it back. Simp;y, press the “F11” button on your keyboard. This will exit full-screen mode, and the toolbar will reappear.
Getting the Bookmarks Toolbar Back When Removed
Sometimes, the toolbar can get removed from Chrome entirely. This usually happens by accident when you are customizing your browser. If you find the toolbar missing, don’t panic; you can still get it back. Here are the steps to do so:
1. Open Google Chrome and press on the three-dot icon at the top-right of the display to go to the Menu.
2. From the options in the Menu, select “Bookmarks.”
3. Under the popup under Bookmarks, click on “Show bookmarks bar.”
This should bring the toolbar back into view at the top of your browser window.
Getting the Extension Toolbar Back When Removed
The extensions toolbar is positioned beside the URL bar and provides quick access to your installed extensions. If you find that the extensions toolbar is no longer visible, follow these steps to get it back:
1. Open Google Chrome and press on the extension icon at the top-right of the display.
2. Now pin the extension by clicking on the pin icon next to it.
This should make the extension toolbar appear again in your browser window.
