Every browser acts this way, picking a default name based on the URL or webpage title, but allowing you to change it. You can also rearrange your hierarchy at will, though that does require some use of keyboard commands for drag and drop if you intend to move large batches, such as those imported from another browser at install time, at once. If you need to know how to do something please ask, and it's almost certain that someone here can and will tell you. What irritated me is making assertions about Chrome, or any web browser, that anyone who's used web browsers for years knows is simply not so. Chrome and Firefox both are highly accessible, as are most of the derivatives created by the code bases used for each of those. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. ~ Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back

Are you assuming you can't change the name because
Chrome says bookmark added before you edit anything? I seldom add new
bookmarks in Chrome but I experimented. If I use control d to add one,
Chrome says bookmark added but I am still on the edit field where I can change
the name. It wasn't announced as an edit field for some reason with
NVDA. I don't know what other screen-readers would do. I tried
typing and I was able to change the name as in any standard edit field.
That's an example of looking around an not assuming
what your screen-reader says is always relevant. Somewhere, Chrome says
bookmark added but that is misleading and it hasn't been actually saved
yet. If something seems wrong, look around.
As far as finding a book mark after you save it
even if you don't know the name, if you know what folder it is saved in, it is
the first bookmark at the end of the list. If you are in the list and up
arrow, it will be the first one. I don't work enough with book marks in
Chrome to discuss specifying a folder much but I can tell you a little if you
want to know.
I can't answer the other questions about how to
move all bookmarks to one folder, etc. But creating bookmarks in Chrome is
similar to doing so in other browsers.

But I want to edit the bookmark name before I save it, not afterward, since I won't be able to find my bookmark if I don't know what Chrome automatically named it. Also, I'd like to move all my Internet Explorer favorites in Chrome from the Imported from IE directory to the root of wherever Chrome stores favorites. AI want all my favorites sorted into the directories I assigned them, not grouped by the browser from which they were imported. Thanks, Orlando

Hello,
When we talk about IE and FF/Chrome, we should not forget IE's management of RSS feeds. as I know this is the best implementation of this feature so far. Chrome has never had this feature implemented, FF has removed it "live bookmarks" since version 63 and I still haven't found an addon, which could worked well as I expected. Any advice or should I use IE for reading RSS feeds? thanks. kind regards, Jožef

I always recommend The Old Reader for RSS. It’s web based and fully accessible. There are free as well as paid options. I choose to pay for the extra services as well as to support them. I’m grandfathered in at a $2.00 a month price for up to 500 feeds, but I think it may now be $2.50 or maybe $3.00 a month. I’m not sure. The Old Reader can also sync with various mobile apps if you’ve got an Android or iOS device.

I use Livemarks extension for Firefox. It restores the RSS live bookmark support to Firefox.

When you start to make a bookmark, if you tab once
from the name field, you get to a field where you can specify the folder the
bookmark will be saved in. I don't remember if it is identified as a combo
box, but that is how it functions.
Up and down arrow through the choices. If you
want to add the book mark to the Internet Explorer folder, stop on that
folder. Don't press enter because I'm not sure what that would do.
You can experiment and see if you wish.
If you shift tab back to the name field and press
enter, the book mark will be saved in the specified folder.
You may change the name of the bookmark whenever
you want, before or after you specify the folder.
