How do you save your favourite websites on Google chrome

Star thingy at top right -- at end of url bar.

Google calls them bookmarks, as does Firefox -- IE calls them favourites.

Got it pal but how do you stop it opening loads of tabs each time you open google chrome, looks messy and all over the show.............help

CTRL+d is bookmarks although I don't use them much.

Too find my favourites I either set them as a homepage or type in first few letters of URL ie. chit will bring Chit Chat to the top.

Sure most know this, but if you're dragging an icon onto the Bookmarks bar, you can right click edit and make it just an icon so you can fit tons along the bookmark bar rather than about 10 with  big titles

Love the chrome toolbar, has my fav sites on click away.

Always shorten the name so you can fit more on the bar.

@Howdi -- how do you stop it opening loads of tabs each time you open google chrome, looks messy and all over the show

Chrome automatically opens your home pages, with a tab for each one. Alternatively, you might have told it to open up all the tabs you had open last time. Go to the menu (top right icon that looks like 3 lines) and from there, choose Settings (near the bottom).

The options are:
-- Open the New Tab page (ie nothing, although as is the new fashion, it will show you thumbnail representations of web pages you often visit).

-- Continue where you left off (ie open the old tabs).

-- Open a specific page or set of pages (Click on Set pages to set or unset your home pages).

creatureinthesky: Thanks for that ... I had no idea.

You can also edit the title so it appears as, e.g. "Hills", rather than "Online betting from ...", so it's more obvious and takes up less space.

You can also arrange bookmarks into folders -- where the folder name appears on the toolbar, and then your bookmarks look like menu items.

Not one-click but at the cost of a second click, you can have an implausibly large number of bookmarks. You can also have subfolders.

Thanks v much very helpful. Chrome seems a lot quicker to navigate, although this may just be me.
