Where does Chrome store bookmarks? And how to delete them!

/*--- holy mAcar00ns!! --- */

To my dismay, I found that after importing bookmarks from Firefox into Google Chrome (Chromium), the location bar became EXTREMELY sluggish because Chrome tries to search through ALL your bookmarks in addition to your history and whatever else while you're still typing!

Chrome doesn't have any way really to manage your bookmarks (this is not a production-ready application), so you have to dig around to find the actual location of the bookmarks in order to delete them.

The location in Microsoft Windows Vista is:

Your User Name > AppData > Local > Chromium > User Data > Default

Just delete both of the bookmark files and they should be gone. And then you can use the location bar again!

To bring up the Google Chrome bookmark manager, just do the following:

CTRL-SHIFT-B

Or you can select it from the dropdown menu from the Wrench icon at the top right of the window.

You can use the Google Chrome Bookmark Manager to delete bookmarks and organize bookmarks.
