How to Add Bookmarks to the Web With Chrome
If you find something interesting or entertaining while you're surfing the Internet with the Google Chrome Web browser, you might want to bookmark the page so you can find it again easily. Like all Web browsers, Chrome includes a bookmark tool that saves the selected Web page in a "Favorites" folder. Once you've bookmarked your favorite Web pages with Chrome, you can access them instantly by clicking the site name on the "Bookmarks Bar" or by selecting the "Bookmarks" folder button in the browser's main navigation menu.

You can skip step 5 if you want Chrome to add the bookmarked Web page to the default location, which is the "Bookmarks Bar" that appears above the main browser pane.
For quick access to your bookmarked Web pages, ensure Chrome always displays the Bookmarks Bar. Click the wrench icon in the main navigation menu, then select "Tools" followed by "Always Show Bookmarks Bar" to enable this option.
