Secure Bookmarks is a nice Google Chrome extension which allows users to add a password protection to their bookmark list. This is really a nice idea, if you share your computer with others. With the use of this extension, you can protect your favorite links from others.

After installing this extension to your Google Chrome web browser, You will see a star icon near the address bar. Clicking on this icon first time will take you to a new page which asks the password. Now you are ready to secure your bookmark list.

Whenever you want to save any link as bookmark, simple click at the star icon of the extension and then click on "create new bookmark" button. Save as many links as you can. To change the position on the list, you can simply drag the bookmark link to the new place.
