What are the Benefits of Online Bookmarking Tools?


Google’s Chrome, Apple’s Safari, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, and many other internet browsers include online bookmark manager tools that improve daily browsing experiences. Whenever you visit a website, it takes time to type in the website’s domain, especially for slow typing people who do not have much experience using a keyboard. One benefit of a built in online bookmark manager in a web browser is saving time. When you select a bookmark page, it falls under a menu labeled “favorites” or “bookmarks” that can be a reference with just a few mouse clicks. You can save time by avoiding the need to type and still go directly to the site by using the Google bookmarks toolbar.

Another convenience of the Google favorites toolbar is saving a site that might have been difficult to find, or that will be referenced at a later time period but might be too long to remember. Every webpage visited has a hyperlink you can access to go directly to a specific webpage. This is what appears in the address bar at the top of the browser. Most hyperlinks are typically very complex and long with random strings of text and words that are difficult to remember. With an online bookmark manager, these hyperlinks are easy to save and easy to use later to find a webpage that you might have forgotten. Furthermore, some URLs are too long to remember to find an exact web address.

With an online bookmark manager, it is very easy to classify websites into specific categories. Most web browsers provide a tool to manage bookmarks, as well as new folders used to classify information into common categories. For example, a vacation folder in an online bookmark manager will contain the websites of five different possible hotels that might be booked on a vacation. Bookmarking tools improve the browsing experience by offering easy and effective ways to manage.
