02 Nov 08 Google Chrome – Instant Bookmarks
Chances are you visit some websites on a regular basis. If you’re on a website, you can tell that it’s bookmarked if the star icon 
on the address bar is highlighted. You can create bookmarks in several ways. Click a link below to learn more about each method:
If you come across an interesting webpage that you’d like to access again in the future, click the star icon on the Google Chrome toolbar to create a bookmark. A bubble confirming the addition of the bookmark appears.
- To tweak the bookmark’s name, edit the text in the ‘Name’ field.
- By default, the bookmark is filed in the bookmark folder that was most recently used. Use the ‘Folder’ drop-down menu to choose where you want to store the bookmark.
- To tweak the bookmark’s URL, click the Edit button.
If you accidentally clicked the star icon, you can quickly revert by clicking the Remove link in the bubble.
If you’re on the History page (Ctrl+H), you can also click the star icons that appear next to the links of websites you’ve previously visited to create bookmarks for them.
If you know the web address that you want to bookmark, you can right-click the bookmarks bar (Ctrl+B) and select Add page. Provide the following information in the ‘Edit Bookmark’ dialog box, then click the OK button.
- Name: Type a label for the webpage you’d like to bookmark.
- URL: Type the specific web address for the webpage.
Select the appropriate location for the new bookmark from the folder list. Click the OK button when you’re done.
You can quickly create a bookmark for any link on the webpage you’re on by clicking and dragging it to the bookmarks bar.
Learn how to import bookmarks from Internet Explorer or Firefox. After importing, folders and bookmarks on your Firefox bookmarks toolbar or Internet Explorer links bar are placed on the Google Chrome bookmarks bar directly (Ctrl+B). All other items are filed in the ‘Other bookmarks’ folder at the end of the bookmarks bar.
