I do not know for Chrome BUT on Firefox you can normally ignore bookmarks in a bar or menu using a normally quicker and more effective direct bookmark search&narrow using the search bar starting with an asterisk. Similarly the ampersand search in history. We have nearly abandoned menu as UI elements because a CLI-alike search&narrow UI is better in general, just file managers remain lagging behind with their crappy UI...
