Hide "Other bookmarks" from bar

Description

I want my bookmarks bar uncluttered, with only my “quick access” sites on it, however it adds the other bookmarks folder to the end of the bar.

I believe this is either a new bug, or this request was implemented globally by the brave team.

As @MauroNavarro mentioned above, I also no longer have my ‘Other bookmarks’ folder on the right hand side. Unlike the original poster, I want to keep my excess bookmarks in a separate folder so I don’t have MANY bookmarks on my bar. This is only happening on Brave for me, and not on Google Chrome. Happens on both Windows 10 and macOS.

Brave: Version 1.2.42 Chromium: 79.0.3945.117 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Ideally it would not follow the same format as Google Chrome with the ‘Other bookmarks’ gigantic folder name and instead follow Mozilla Firefox’s overflow bookmarks of a small single icon (See below) pinned on the right-hand side of the bookmarks bar.

Hi @Valinwolf.

If you go into brave://bookmarks/ and move all the bookmarks out of “Other bookmarks” into a different folder so that “Other bookmarks” folder is empty, that hides “Other bookmarks” folder from showing on the Bookmarks bar.

Marking wontfix. I don’t think we need another method to hide “Other bookmarks” folder as it’s hidden if it’s empty.
