Description
The
Show bookmarks
setting andAlways show bookmarks on the new tab page
are related and work together as there are four states (with one broken state). Users don't know that they do work together and often want to hide bookmarks completely and yet still see the bookmarks bar on the new tab page when they've explicitly wanted to hide bookmarks. Further, these two settings are not placed close together and therefore don't look to be related.Current settings
Updated
Show bookmarks
setting will deleteAlways show bookmarks on the new tab page
setting and makeShow bookmarks
a drop down choice of three options:New users should have
Only on the new tab page
as their default.Existing users will carry their setting from previous versions which in most cases will be Show bookmarks [off] and Always show bookmarks on the new tab page [on].
To be discussed
Note that on macOS with the View menu, the options
Always show bookmarks
is a checkbox. We will keep that checkbox to beAlways
andNever
. Users will need to go into Settings to change to Only in the new tab page and. If users select Only in the new tab page in settings, the View menu will be reflected asAlways
