  14 <pre>{
  15   "name": "My extension",
  16   ...
  17 <b>
  18   "chrome_ui_overrides" : {
  19     "bookmarks_ui": {
  20       "remove_button": "true",
  21       "remove_bookmark_shortcut": "true"
  22     }

  27 <p>
  28 <ul>
  29   <li>
  30     <a href="#bookmarks_ui">Bookmark button</a>: the "star" button that is used
  31     to bookmark pages. Extensions may remove this button using the settings
  32     overrides, and optionally replace it with a browser action or page action.
  33   </li>
  34
  35   <li>
  36     <a href="#bookmarks_ui">Bookmark shortcut</a>: the shortcut key that is used
  37     to bookmark a page (Ctrl-D on Windows). Extensions may remove this shortcut
  38     via the settings overrides, and optionally bind their own command to it
  39     using the <code>commands</code> section of the manifest. If the shortcut key
  40     is removed or rebound, the corresponding menu item as also removed or
  41     overridden respectively.

  47 <b>Note:</b> Settings overrides for <code>bookmarks_ui</code> are only enabled
  48 in the Chrome Dev release, and Chrome must be started with the
