Chrome Browser - Where Is Standard Toolbar?

[joko]

trying to find a standard toobar for chrome

the one that is just words across the top "file, edit, view, history, etc

ive searched the customise bit, the tools, etc and also the add ons _ i cant find one!

any ideas?

I like to have it on all the browsers i use

thanks

History is under the three dots on the right but I don't recall ever seeing file, edit etc in any browser, only in file explorer or actual programmes like Word and Excel.

thanks, its on a number of mine, in the setting etc

Surely that's for the bookmark bar though ie your favourite web pages, not file, edit etc. What files/edit would you have in Chrome IE or Edge for example?

thanks - but its not the bookmarks bar im looking for - its the standard one that shows on a lot of software

it usually reads =

"File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help"

and its usually got a setting to enable it somewhere, but i cant find one

i use it all the time prudie, on a few of them

look at firefox settings and enable all the toolbars and you will see it

Chrome doesn't have that bar (functions are in the 3 dots menu) but you can add an extension to get one. The link here looks to be what you're after - https://tinyurl.com/y54pyacv

yay, thank you Lie-In-King, thats done it!

i hadnt thought to call it a menubar! - i just searched toolbars!

Problem solved - kind of odd they dont just build it in, its such a common tool, especially for older people who dont like all the symbols and buttons and just want words

Arrrghhh!! I spoke too soon! This is exactly the right thing - but it doesnt work!

it keeps disappearing on every new tab!

its showing in the add ons as being on and working - but it doesnt show up anywhere except the installation window

Glad you're sorted, joko :-)

Try holding down the ALT button then pressing F to make the menu appear.

(ALT-F for short).

joko - sorry, we posted at the same time & I didn't notice your post @ 18:09.

I've just installed it on Chrome, restarted the browser & it shows on all my open tabs. It *doesn't* show if you click the + to open a new (empty) tab, but it's there when you fill that tab with a site.

...Also, if you want the extension icon (white + in a black box) to show permanently, click the jigsaw piece top-right & "Pin" the extension.
