Failed to verify fix on latest Chromium development build 66.0.3354.0.

1. Downloaded the latest raw Chromium build from download-chromium.appspot.com.
2. Launched Chromium.
3. Switched into Guest mode.
4. Opened chrome://bookmarks.

Upon opening the bookmark manager in Guest mode on the latest Chromium build, "To bookmark pages, click the star in the address bar" is still seen.

This issue has been repurposed for unmodifiable folders in general. The bookmark manager should not be accessible in guest mode which is tracked in  Issue 813451 .

Checked the issue on chrome version 66.0.3355.0 using Windows 10, Ubuntu 14.04 and Mac 10.13.1. 

The issue is still seen, i.e., after navigating to chrome://bookmarks in guest mode we are able to see "To bookmark pages, click the star in the address bar". 
Hence we aren't adding any verified labels.

Thanks!

I understand that completely eliminating the bookmark manager in Guest mode is a different bug, and that this bug is for changing the message for unmodifiable folders. Since this issue doesn't appear to be fixed (as it can't be verified per comment #5 and comment #7), could you reopen this bug and look into why the fix isn't working?

This bug is fixed for managed folders, but not guest mode. Guest mode is not going to be fixed here, it's just going to be disabled entirely. I'll change the description to match.

@calamity: As per comment#9 it is understood that the issue is fixed for managed folders, but not guest mode. We have checked the issue on latest canary 66.0.3356.0 by signing into chrome in chrome://settings then clicked on a bookmark folder in Chrome://bookmarks, we observed similar behaviour on the versions with and without fix. Attaching the screenshot of the same. Could you please let us know if anything missed from our end and help us in verifying the fix.

Thanks!

Add a folder in managed mode that has no bookmarks in it. The message will be different.

Since this bug has been repurposed, could you provide verification steps if possible?

The description is already updated.
