Bookmarks are probably the most commonly used feature of any web browser, anyone and everyone that has used the Internet is sure to have a stash of favourite websites. Although most people usually have a few dozen bookmarks saved to their browsers shortcut bar. These links don’t always go to the exact location on a page that you may wish to frequent.

As a result, you’ll need to scroll down to the specific position on the page manually to find exactly what you are looking for. Thankfully, there’s now an easier way to save bookmarks that allows you to return to the exact area on a page that you were last browsing or at least the last place you were browsing when you saved the bookmark.

Once you have done this, you’ll see a small icon appear to the right-hand side of the highlighted text. Click this and the bookmark will be saved.

Once done, you’ll see a slim semi-transparent bar appear next to your vertical scroll bar. You’ll also see coloured dots representing each of the saved bookmarks you have saved using Bookmarkify on that page. It’s also worth noting that Bookmarkify doesn’t collect or send data back to any online sources.
