Whether bookmarking favorite sites you visit frequently, or obscure and quirky sites you just want to know you can find again with ease, using (and removing) bookmarks with Google Chrome is simple. Here's how to use bookmarks in Google Chrome using your computer, iPhone, iPad, or Android.

Quick Steps

Find your bookmarks. If you don't see your bookmarks bar underneath the address bar, do the following to find your bookmarks: Click ⋮ in the top-right corner. Hover over Bookmarks and lists. Click Show bookmarks bar to enable it or Bookmark Manager to see all bookmarks in a window.

Edit a bookmark. If you want to change the name or location of your bookmark, do the following: Click ⋮ in the top-right corner. Hover over Bookmarks and lists. Click Bookmark Manager. Click ⋮ on the right of a bookmark Click Edit. Enter a new name, or click the drop-down menu to select a new location.

Delete a bookmark. If you don't want a bookmark anymore, you can delete it from the bookmark bar or Bookmark Manager. Right-click the bookmark in the bookmark bar and click Delete. Alternatively, do the following: Click ⋮ in the top-right corner. Hover over Bookmarks and lists. Click Bookmark Manager. Click ⋮ on the right of a bookmark Click Delete.
