In the last week of March, Google rolled out a new side panel for its browser version 99.0+. This panel appears on the right side and consists of Reading List and Bookmarks. To invoke it, you just need to click on its icon present at the top right (next to the address bar). This panel allows you to easily manage, add, edit, delete or sort your preferred bookmarks under one roof. In the same manner, you could perform similar actions on your Reading List. Then when you are done with its usage, you could hide it back by clicking on its icon present in the menu bar.
However, this feature doesn’t seem to be in sync with some of the user requirements as they could easily access their bookmark via the Bookmarks bar (Ctrl+Shift+B).

Owing to all these reasons, they wish to disable the Bookmarks side panel in the Chrome browser. if you are also in the same boat, then this guide shall help you out.
