Does Google Bookmarks show us how many total bookmarks we have?

I've searched high and low for such a basic feature that I think it is really weird that there isn't such a feature!

Well, there is no such feature. You cannot directly see how many bookmarks you have, but:

enter image description here

you can add up the sum of all the Unlabeled Bookmarks and the Bookmarks under various different Labels.

Otherwise, you can do as I do: Keep all the Bookmarks as Unlabeled, so that the Count of Unlabeled Bookmarks gives you the total number of Bookmarks you have.

  • How do you organize your bookmarks then if they are all unlabeled?

  • @Pacerier Okay, so label them, and just add the number indicating number of bookmarks each label to get your total number of bookmarks.

Yes, you can find out how many bookmarks you have right here. https://www.google.com/settings/chrome/sync

    This is a different thing. I'm talking about google.com/bookmarks while you are talking about the browser bookmarks.....

  • The address @Pacerier is actually chrome://bookmarks/, and they are the same thing that Poppo9000 is referring to. 3 years later, and it's still the same answer.

  • Hmm.. Maybe something wrong with my syncing? Its showing there that i have 393 bookmarks, while i have at least 50000 on chrome. Profile is in chrome set up and must be syncing since last installation, but now i see in that link that bookmark number showing wrong.

To view how many Chrome bookmarks you have without using Google sync, use this Chrome extension, https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/%C3%BCber-simple-bookmark-coun/mogbbilahcoegijagmcmleheifpijffa .

To use @Poppo9000's answer, you must be syncing your bookmarks with Google.

  • It is not open source, so it is impossible to reason about does it share your bookmarks with anyone.

  • Try to use this one instead: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/my-bookmarks-limit/…

  • @Anthony, all chrome extensions are open source, or at least can be reverse engineered since they are only JavaScript. However, this extension's JavaScript is not obfuscated.

  • > all chrome extensions are open source @zylstra no, they are not. The mental cost of re-engineering of same "tasks" that code perform is very high, as JS contains a little "standard library", compared to other languages. So, you will find yourself "re-engineering good old tree traversal". You should do that in the first place instead.

  • Also, you should first look at the source, then execute code - not the vice versa. Or it would be late.

For Edge, export Favourites and run $$('a') to get the count.
