Is there ANY way to Bookmark URL's in Chrome (other than Importing them)?

Since Chrome has a Bookmark Manager, it would seem logical that it should be Possible to bookmark URL's. However there seems to be NO WAY to actually bookmark ANYTHING (other than Importing bookmarks from other browsers). Currently if I want to bookmark a URL in Chrome, I have to (1) Copy the URL in Chrome, (2) Open Firefox, (3) Paste the URL into Firefox, (4) Open the website with Firefox, (5) Bookmark the URL in Firefox, (6) Switch back to Chrome, (7) Import the Firefox bookmark. That's a lotta Dickin'-the-Dog-Around just to bookmark a website. Is there any other way to bookmark a website in Chrome?

Hi, MLStrand56.


At the very right edge of the address field, just to the left of the tool icon, you'll see a five-pointed star. Click that to bookmark the current page.

If you want to see the bookmarks toolbar, push Ctrl+Shift+B. You can also click Wrench>Bookmarks>Bookmark Manager if you want. To add them, if the toolbar is showing, you can drag the little favicon (icon) to the left of the url bar to it.

A star very next to the URL box allow you to save bookmarks. Just click onto the star and it will ask you to save the bookmark.
