Just as with computer-based browsers, the Droid 2’s browser lets you save your favorite sites as bookmarks—sites you can easily visit again without having to retype their URLs. In fact, before you even use your browser, it has bookmarks for a few popular sites, including eBay and Amazon.com.
To see your bookmarks, press the Menu key and then tap Bookmarks. You see all your bookmarks, either displayed as a list or as a group of thumbnails of each of the bookmarked pages, so that you can distinguish them visually.
To switch back and forth between the views, when you’re viewing your bookmarks, press the Menu key and then select “List view” or “Thumbnail view”.
No matter which view you use, to go to a bookmarked site, tap the site. Voilà—you’re there.
Note
The bookmarks in your Droid 2 browser don’t sync back to your computer. However, if you use the Firefox browser, you can sync bookmarks between the Droid 2 and any other computer you use—Windows, Mac, or even Linux. Firefox includes a feature called Firefox Sync that automatically synchronizes all your bookmarks among all your computers and devices. At this writing, Firefox isn’t officially available for the Droid 2, but it might be by the time you read this. You may have to install the Firefox Sync add-in for your desktop Firefox, depending on which version of the browser you use. For details, go to www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/sync/.
Whenever you visit a web page you want to add as a bookmark, tap the Bookmark button 
. The Bookmarks page appears. If you’re in Thumbnail view, the current page appears in the upper-left corner of the page with a star and the word “Add” on it. If you’re in List view, the current page shows up at the top of the list with the words “Add bookmark”.
Tip
If you sometimes find yourself with a slow Internet connection, and wish there was a way to browse the Web faster, here’s a bookmark you should add to your list: http://google.com/gwt/n. It hides most graphics, and lets you browse the Web much more quickly on a slow connection.
Here you can edit the name or the actual URL of the bookmark. In the Name box, type a different name if you want one, and in the Location box, type a different location. Then press OK. The bookmark is added to your list.
The Droid 2 lets you do more than just go to bookmarks. You can delete them, share them, edit them, and so on.. To do it, head to Bookmarks and then press the Menu key. Then hold your finger on the bookmark you want to edit or manage. A menu appears with the following choices:
Open. Opens the bookmarked site in the current window. So if, for example, you’re at www.google.com, open your bookmarks, and then choose www.cnn.com from your bookmarks. Now, www.cnn.com opens in the window where www.google.com had previously been open.
Open in new window. Opens the bookmarked site in a new window. So if you’re at www.google.com, open your bookmarks, and then choose www.cnn.com, and www.cnn.com opens in a window of its own.
Edit bookmark. Brings up a page that lets you edit the name and location of the bookmark. It looks much like the page for adding a bookmark.
Add shortcut to home. Tap this option, and a shortcut to the bookmarked page is added to your Home screen. When you tap the bookmark, it opens the browser to that site. You can move and delete the icon after you add it (Customizing the Home Screen and Panes).
Share link. Tap to share the link of the bookmark by email or text message.
Copy link URL. Tap to copy the bookmark’s URL to the clipboard so you can then paste it somewhere else, like into a document or email.
Delete bookmark. Deletes the bookmark. After you tap it, you get a warning that you’re about to delete the bookmark, just in case you want to reconsider, or if you tapped this option by accident.
Set as homepage. Tap this, and from now on whenever you open a new window, it opens to that site.
