What Are Chrome Bookmarks?

Bookmarking is a system that web browsers such as Chrome use to make it easier to find specific web pages. Instead of writing down a long universal resource locator (URL) or searching for a page every time, you can click a single button in Chrome to bookmark any web page for access later. If you end up with too many bookmarks to manage, you can organize them into folders or remove the ones you don’t use frequently.

Why Delete Chrome Bookmarks?

Chrome bookmarks are easy to create, either intentionally or accidentally. You may accidentally bookmark a page when trying to type a new URL, open a new tab, or interact with one of your plug-ins. When that happens, it’s a good idea to remove the bookmark to avoid clutter immediately. The other reason to remove bookmarks is that they accumulate over time, and you can end up with an unmanageable mess of old bookmarks that you no longer need. If you’re ready for a fresh start, remove all your bookmarks in one fell swoop.
