Done saves it. 4. **Find it again** From the bookmarks bar, the star menu, or `chrome://bookmarks`. Typing in the address bar also suggests bookmarks. Menu labels change between versions of Chromebook; the shortcut and the internal address `chrome://bookmarks` don't. ## Bookmark all open tabs Right-click any tab (or press Ctrl+Shift+D, ⌘+Shift+D on a Mac) and choose the option to bookmark all tabs. Chromebook makes a folder with one bookmark per tab, handy before closing a research session. ## Where new bookmarks go Chromebook remembers the last folder you used. The Bookmarks bar folder shows on the bar; Other bookmarks and your own folders show in the manager and the star menu. Drag between folders in `chrome://bookmarks` to tidy up later. ## Keep some bookmarks out of Chrome on a Chromebook altogether Every bookmark you add this way is readable by anyone who opens Chromebook on this computer, and copied to every device that syncs with your Google Account. [Private Bookmarks](/private-bookmarks) is our free extension that saves pages into an encrypted vault on this computer: AES-256-GCM, a key derived from your password, no account, no sync and no network access. Saved pages never appear in the bookmarks bar, in `chrome://bookmarks` or in your Google Account, and the vault locks itself after a few minutes. > **Add Private Bookmarks to Chromebook.** Free. Installs from the Chrome Web Store.

Ctrl+D. It opens a small window to name the bookmark and choose a folder. ### Can I bookmark every open tab at once? Yes. Right-click a tab, or press Ctrl+Shift+D (⌘+Shift+D on a Mac), and Chromebook saves every tab into a new folder. ### Where did my bookmark go? Into the folder shown when you saved it. Open `chrome://bookmarks` and search by name if you don't see it on the bar. ### Is a bookmark private? No. It is stored in plain text in the profile and shown to anyone using Chromebook on this computer; with sync on it is copied to your other devices. For pages you want kept private, an encrypted vault such as Private Bookmarks is the only locked option. ## Sources - [Google Chrome Help: Create, view, and edit bookmarks](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/188842) - [Chromebook Help: Chromebook keyboard shortcuts](https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/183101) ## Bookmark a page in other browsers - [How to bookmark a page in Microsoft Edge](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/add-bookmark/edge) - [How to bookmark a page in Brave](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/add-bookmark/brave) - [How to bookmark a page in Opera](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/add-bookmark/opera) - [How to bookmark a page in Vivaldi](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/add-bookmark/vivaldi) - [How to bookmark a page in Chrome on Android](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/add-bookmark/chrome-android) - [How to bookmark a page in Chrome on iPhone and iPad](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/add-bookmark/chrome-iphone) - [How to bookmark a page in Chrome](https://www.vaultforyou.app/blog/bookmark-page-chrome) - [All browsers: bookmark a page](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/add-bookmark) ## More for Chrome on a Chromebook - [How to show the bookmarks bar in Chrome on a Chromebook](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/show-bookmarks-bar/chromebook) - [How to delete bookmarks in Chrome on a Chromebook](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/delete-bookmarks/chromebook) - [How to export bookmarks in Chrome on a Chromebook](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/export-bookmarks/chromebook) - [How to import bookmarks in Chrome on a Chromebook](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/import-bookmarks/chromebook) - [How to restore lost bookmarks in Chrome on a Chromebook](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/restore-bookmarks/chromebook) - [How to organize bookmarks in Chrome on a Chromebook](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/organize-bookmarks/chromebook) - [How to edit bookmarks in Chrome on a Chromebook](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/edit-bookmarks/chromebook) - [How to sync bookmarks between devices in Chrome on a Chromebook](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/sync-bookmarks/chromebook) --- Private Bookmarks by VaultForYou is a Chrome extension made by VaultForYou.
