mark the page for future viewing


Explanation:
This term comes from the literal bookmark, the card or slip of paper you use to mark the page where you've left off reading your book. This is an electronic marker that puts the page you're viewing in your Favourites folder, so you can go back to it at any time (even offline), because as you know navigating the web can be very time-consuming
