1] Bookmark All Open Tabs in Chrome

This is very easy, and the most exciting thing is that you do not need any extension. However, you cannot bookmark pages that are opened in a different window of the browser. For instance, you have opened two separate windows. Following these steps, you can bookmark all open tabs in that window. No opened tab would be included in that list.

• First, ensure you have only those pages you want to bookmark.
• Next, either press Ctrl+Shift+D or right-click on any tab and select the Bookmark all tabs option.
• As there are multiple pages, Chrome will allow you to create a separate folder for those tabs.
• You will see a popup window where you can enter a folder name that will be visible on the Bookmarks bar.

Once you are sure the number of opened tabs should be bookmarked or added to favorites, right-click on any of the tabs, and select “Add tabs to Favorites“.

All your favorites will be available in one single folder which has the current date. You can now right-click and choose open all.

While the above method makes it easy to save all Tabs as Bookmarks in Edge, you don’t want to create a messed-up list of everything. This is where the Edge Set Tabs Aside feature comes into play.

Open the Aside section, and locate the set of tabs you want to add to favorites.

Right next to the Restore tabs, click on the three dots, and click on Add tabs to favorites.

This will be added to a folder with the current date. Later you can choose to open all just like in the above section.

Do note that Microsoft Edge Legacy was the default web browser in Windows 10. But Microsoft ended its support on March 9, 2021. After the end of support, Microsoft suggested users install the new version of Microsoft Edge by downloading it from the official website. Later, on April 13, 2021, Microsoft released the cumulative update for Windows 10 that replaced Microsoft Legacy with the new Microsoft Edge.

Today, Microsoft Edge Legacy is not available on Windows 11/10. Hence, the “Set your tabs aside” feature is also gone. Instead of this, a new feature called Collections is added to Microsoft Edge.

Conclusion

Adding all open tabs to favorites comes in handy when you have many open tabs and want to save them all at once. I hope the post was easy to follow, and you can now save all open Tabs or Pages as Bookmarks.

Do too many bookmarks slow down the computer?

Bookarms are a combination of text files linked to the browser. So even if you have thousands of bookmarks, it will not slow down the PC or the browser. However, when you scroll through the bookmarks, it may slow down a bit, but the impact should be negligible. Lastly, opening hundreds of bookmarked pages together will take a lot of resources from your PC, resulting in a slowdown.

Does clearing the cache, clear bookmarks?

Clearing out a web browser’s cache is a safe and helpful process that does not impact any of the information stored in a browser, such as bookmarks, website logins, or even your homepage. Instead, it simply causes the web browser to think that you have not yet visited a page. Cached data can help to protect your privacy, as it can contain information that one can use to track your internet activity and serve advertisements.
