Google is going to shut down its 16-year old bookmarking service “Google Bookmarks” from September 30, 2021. This feature is very much different from the tech giant’s browser bookmarking, as it permits users to save bookmarks in the Chrome browser.
However, the Google Bookmarks feature was launched in 2005. It enables users to bookmark notes, links and access them from any computer or device.
Google Bookmarks website says “After September 30, 2021, Google Bookmarks will no longer be supported. To save your bookmarks, click on ‘Export bookmarks’.”

Google also quoted that “Starred Locations in Google Maps aren’t going anywhere. All of your starred places will remain intact, and you’ll still be able to save places to a list just like you always have.”
