[Q] How can I view Chrome Bookmarks as a List? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use Chrome on my Note 2 and would like to view the Bookmarks as a List and not as Thumbnails.
I can't find a List option anywhere, where is it?

Getting images for bookmarks?

Can anyone explain the rhyme or reason on how my Galaxy Nexus decides whether or not to have bookmark show as an image in the bookmarks section? 90% of my bookmarks don't show the image of the web page when i look them up. Is there something i am not doing? I am not talking about the local bookmarks, i am referring to the regular bookmarks. I am not interested in any browser but stock. Thank you.
You have to load the page, then it adds that image.
Is there a way to NOT show images and show bookmarks in a text list ?

Chrome Bookmarks

Is there a way to import a bookmarks html file into Chrome? I've been using Xscope on my other devices for a while and have an exported bookmark file. Xscope sucks on JB. I'd give Chrome a shot if it imports bookmarks... otherwise onto AOSP or Dolphin or Boat.

Chrome syncs your bookmarks with your google/gmail account. you could move the html file to your desktop and import them into Chrome on Windows or Mac and then it SHOULD sync to your account thus showing up on your phone/tablet
I don't use Chrome, but I do have it on my pc. I had imported all my FF bookmarks to it and don't want that many. I'll decided whether to delete them all and reimport the html file... I was just hoping there was an easy way on the N7.
I tried file:\\\mnt\sdcard\bookmarks.html and Chrome opens that file. But when I save that link as a bookmark, it won't open it from the bookmark (this works in Xscope and Boat). I may just do home screen shortcuts...
Make sure you sign in with your Google / Gmail to Chrome on your computer. Chrome will then automatically upload your bookmarks to the cloud.
They should then be available on your N7 under bookmarks / desktop bookmarks.

Missing native broswer

I flashed .67 then rooted. Somewhere in the mix I lost the native browser! I would use chrome and move on but chrome isn't allowing me to add bookmark links to the home screen....which is key for me. Anyone know how the native one got hosed?
Chrome is the default browser. Did mean the old stock android "Browser"?

There you go! Just install and reboot. Stock AOSP Android native browser:

Are you sure?? Chrome lets me add a widget with direct links of my choosing to any screen. Looks exactly like the native browser widget with the only difference being the Chrome sign in the lower right corner.

Thanks all. I meant that in stock form the ZL had a chrome icon and another browser that had a blue globe as an icon. They seemed to be different in the way the operated.
I did figure out how to do the home screen link. It won't offer it if you are in the "star fav's" view of the bookmarks, while the normal bookmark view enabled it. Is there any advantage to the stock android browser? That must be what I thought was the "Sony" browser.

Huh, my ZL never came with android browser, only chrome.
Afaik Chrome is just about better than the stock browser in every way, atleast on the ZL.

Bookmark Widget Not Working

I'm trying to use the bookmark widget. I place the widget on a screen and get the Choose a Bookmark box but the box is empty. I do have Bookmarks in Chrome. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks.
A lot of people seem to be having the same problem, me included. I found a minor fix for it but it's still a bit annoying.
If you want to add a bookmark to the home screen then first find chrome in Google Play and uninstall the updates. Now you should be able to add bookmarks to your home screen, when you have added all the bookmarks you want you can reinstall the latest chrome updates. Being able to add bookmarks still doesn't work but you have the bookmarks you placed already.
Thanks. That workaround should be good enough.

Question Open links in browsers?

Hi All,
How do I open all app links directly to a browser. Currently I have 3 browsers would like a pop asking for which browser to open the link in. Instead it always opens in web view (inside all in dummy chrome). There's no default browser selected, I don't want a default. I use em all.

In general setting in each app, there is usually a setting for that.
