If you use Microsoft Edge, you probably often use the Favorites interface to visit your favorite Web pages. The Microsoft Edge bookmarks bar makes these sites even more accessible. It is located below the address field where URLs are displayed and entered. However, because the Edge Bookmarks Bar is hidden by default, you must first make it visible.

Using Keyboard Shortcuts

  1. You can press CTRL+Shift+B at the same time to quickly show or hide the bookmark bar in the Microsoft Edge browser. The browser remembers your selection. So you can press CTRL+Shift+B in a new tab to hide the bookmark bar, or press the shortcut key in other tabs to show the bookmark bar.
  2. If you press CTRL+Shift+B more than once, the bookmarks bar is automatically enabled or disabled.
  3. Right-click the bookmarks bar
  4. When you open a new tab, you can right-click on the bookmark bar and select the option “Show favorites bar”.
