How to Bookmark the Current Page in Chrome

Now that you have a convenient Delicious bookmark in Chrome, you are ready for all your social bookmarking needs. But what about traditional bookmarking?
It took me a minute to figure this one out, as Google has broken normal menu conventions. Chrome’s bookmark toolbar doesn’t have an obvious ‘Add Current Page’ function. They’ve hidden it in a very clever place.
Look for the star:
Chrome
It looks familiar, right? You can also find these stars on Gmail.
Google Loves Stars
It seems like Google is challenging Microsoft’s conventions by removing the File > Edit > View menu. You probably won’t want to learn a new set of menu placements for every new application, but once in a while it is good to refresh your thinking about these things that you used to take for granted.
What do you think? Do you prefer the new Stars or the old Bookmarks drop-down menu?

After I was 6 and the best car game couldn’t go backwards, new and new software came. All was logical.
Computers were always logical and magical, coz one thing could be many.
I want 10 programs with 10 ways.
It was only when the net came and stupid broken down programs like adobe reader edited itself like it was one of it’s subjects, a document. Reader has options in edit menu. Stupid. It’s an editor and an editor only. Doesn’t allow to think or do, just edit, and close. I would add delete.
And now with modern internet useful and obligatory applications are made by people who don’t think logically, coz they are amateurs. Broken down logic everywhere. Where 1 thing was 100 things now all piece of crap ppl write garbage that breaks down your logic and you look perplexed when inside a computer 1 things is 2.
God I hate people.
never saw the star hahaha thanks!
I like Google Chrome, but it took me a long search to find the bookmark button, and I still have not found a HELP! drop-down.

Go figure, and I didn’t notice the star either. Heh.
After I add the bookmark using the star(bookmark this page) where does it go? I don’t see the bookmark in the toolbar or anywhere else.
You know, I have been trying to figure this out for a week LOL I recently switched over from firefox (began to be wayyy to slow) and I was about to give up on chrome because I couldn’t bookmark a page- I never thought to look for a darn star!
Thanks so much!!!
BTW- I do prefer the star, less clicking on my end to bookmark a page!
You should be able to right click so you don’t have to go up to the star. Many of us primarily use KEYBOARDS and KEYBOARD short cuts because we have the scars of carpal tunnel and try to avoid MORE RSI from going back and forth to the mouse and moving the mouse more than needed. I use ion window manager and only bat the mouse around to switch focused windows on the current desktop…having to cover that much real estate for something that should be accesible with a quick hand to the mouse and right click selection makes a difference to me as the mouse isn’t always at the top of the web page. Yeah, I could use a track ball, but batting a mouse around the desk works better for me WITH RIGHT CLICK MENUS.
Good browser otherwise.
tom, ctrl-d does it for you.
