Don't laugh please...

As my nickname suggests, I am blind. I do not have much experience with smartphones, as I have never really seen one with my own eyes. I need help! A very simple thing, but very challenging without your eyes and only a screen reader.
How in the devil do you add bookmarks in the Android Chrome browser?
Thank you in advance and may God bless.

I guess this Blind Man's question was too busy for all of you experts... I'm out here.

Sorry, I'm not an expert, and Chrome is disabled on my Android devices. However, I just enabled it on my tablet to see what it does. To add a bookmark, you need to press the star icon at the far right end of the search bar. Once you press the star, a pop-up window will be displayed where you can edit the bookmark, cancel the action, or save it as is.

I'm sorry that you've had no reply. I noticed the question when you originally posted it but could not think how to answer that for a blind person. I'll pass it on to others who may know. Don't go yet.

Edit: Pardon me nahoku, I was unaware of your reply when I posted.

Why would you even bother with the bookmark feature.
With Google voice, Google assistant and even Svoice from Samsung, just give a voice command to go to whatever link you wish.
If the link is too long or complicated to remember, just copy and paste the link into a document that your reader can understand and again just use a voice command to activate the link or select the link just as you would if you were activating the link from a note or text document.

BlindSurvivor,

I sent a message out to my network to try to get some help here. Please standby! Hopefully someone has a good answer or work around for you. I would imagine that Google Now is a great tool for you!

Well, like others have said, you can quickly bookmark a link in Chrome by using the 'star' button in the navigation bar, but I can't think of a way to do that with Accessibility Options or voice commands

Best option I can think of is what Grim suggested: Use voice to navigate to the desired link. However, I can see where this gets tricky if that's a long and/or complicated address to remember

Welcome to Android Central! Have you tried TalkBack? https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2633135?hl=en. I haven't used it myself, but it might give you more access to creating a bookmark for the page you're viewing. Normally, the way to create a bookmark is to tap the Menu button while in Chrome, then tap the Star icon at the top of the menu -- so you could see if TalkBack allows you to get to that option.

Sorry that you were frustrated by the initial lack of response, but remember that this is a huge forum with tons of new posts every day. It's relatively easy for a new thread to be buried by all of that traffic, so if you don't get any initial responses in the first 2-3 days, you can always bump your thread (maximum of one bump per 24 hrs).
