We hide bookmarks bar when its empty.
We show it when it has items.
We will not add a user setting in account settings for them to hide/show it for now as a default, we may consider that later.
We give users the option to hide it on a per user and a per channel basis using an option in the dropdown menu.
We add bookmarks into a separate bookmarks right hand sidebar, with the option to open it from the channel info RHS, similar to the mobile view.
The menu item will have 3 options.
Auto-show
This is the default and hides the bookmarks bar if there are no items, but it shows as soon as there are items.
Always hide
This allows the user to hide the bookmarks bar for that channel for himself.
Add a bookmark
We also give an option from here to add a bookmarks bar.

Bookmarks RHS
...
We also have a bookmarks section in the RHS to add and see current bookmarks.
If we can move the channel purpose at the bottom, that would be great.

No Bookmarks

With Bookmarks
...
The user seens a drag handle on hover.
...
Clicking on the plus icon in the bookmarks bar shows this menu now.
And clicking on manage bookmarks opens the Right hand sidebar.
When we add an ellipsis due to items overflowing in the bookmarks bar, they can also show the RHS directly.
