The favorite goes to the folder you pick; the favorites bar folder puts it on the bar. - **Shortcut:** Ctrl+D (⌘+D on a Mac) - **Button:** click the star in the address bar (Add this page to favorites), pick a folder and Done - **Default folder:** The last folder you used; the favorites bar shows the Favorites bar folder ## Bookmark a page in Microsoft Edge 1. **Open the page** In Microsoft Edge, open the page you want to keep. 2. **Press Ctrl+D (⌘+D on a Mac)** Or click the star in the address bar (Add this page to favorites), pick a folder and Done. 3. **Name it and pick a folder** Change the name if the page title is long and choose a folder. Done saves it. 4. **Find it again** From the favorites bar, the star menu, or `edge://favorites`. Typing in the address bar also suggests favorites. Menu labels change between versions of Edge; the shortcut and the internal address `edge://favorites` 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. Edge makes a folder with one favorite per tab, handy before closing a research session. ## Where new favorites go Edge remembers the last folder you used. The Favorites bar folder shows on the bar; Other favorites and your own folders show in the manager and the star menu. Drag between folders in `edge://favorites` to tidy up later. ## Keep some bookmarks out of Microsoft Edge altogether Every favorite you add this way is readable by anyone who opens Edge on this computer, and copied to every device that syncs with your Microsoft 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 favorites bar, in `edge://favorites` or in your Microsoft account, and the vault locks itself after a few minutes. Edge installs Chrome Web Store extensions. The first time, Edge asks you to allow extensions from other stores; click Allow, then Add to Chrome works as Get. > **Add Private Bookmarks to Edge.** Free. Installs from the Chrome Web Store.

Ctrl+D (⌘+D on a Mac). It opens a small window to name the favorite 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 Edge saves every tab into a new folder. ### Where did my favorite go? Into the folder shown when you saved it. Open `edge://favorites` and search by name if you don't see it on the bar. ### Is a favorite private? No. It is stored in plain text in the profile and shown to anyone using Edge 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 - [Microsoft Support: Add a site to your favorites in Microsoft Edge](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/add-a-site-to-my-favorites-in-microsoft-edge-eb40d818-fd1f-cb19-d943-6fcfd1d9a935) - [Microsoft Support: Keyboard shortcuts in Microsoft Edge](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/keyboard-shortcuts-in-microsoft-edge-50d3edab-30d9-c7e4-21ce-37fe2713cfad) - [Microsoft Support: Add, turn on, or remove extensions in Microsoft Edge](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/add-turn-on-or-remove-extensions-in-microsoft-edge-9c0ec68c-2fbc-2f2c-9ff0-bdc76f46b026) ## Bookmark a page in other browsers - [How to bookmark a page in Chrome on a Chromebook](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/add-bookmark/chromebook) - [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 Microsoft Edge - [How to show the favorites bar in Microsoft Edge](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/show-bookmarks-bar/edge) - [How to delete favorites in Microsoft Edge](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/delete-bookmarks/edge) - [How to export favorites in Microsoft Edge](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/export-bookmarks/edge) - [How to import favorites in Microsoft Edge](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/import-bookmarks/edge) - [How to find where favorites are stored in Microsoft Edge](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/where-bookmarks-are-stored/edge) - [How to restore lost favorites in Microsoft Edge](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/restore-bookmarks/edge) - [How to organize favorites in Microsoft Edge](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/organize-bookmarks/edge) - [How to edit favorites in Microsoft Edge](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/edit-bookmarks/edge) --- Private Bookmarks by VaultForYou is a Chrome extension made by VaultForYou.
