I’ve been utilizing Google Keep for practically all of my bookmarking for the final half-dozen years or extra. It properly syncs my bookmarks, notes, and reminders between my telephone and any pc that I exploit when logged into my Chrome profile. Unfortunately, my days of utilizing Chrome as my main bookmarking device could also be coming to an finish in December.
Last week I began to note a little bit warning seem at any time when I bookmarked a web site with the Google Keep Chrome extension. The warning reads,
“beginning on December fifth, 2022, notes created right here is not going to save mechanically. You may also must entry and edit current notes related to a URL by way of Keep.”
Other than that little word showing when utilizing the Chrome extension, to date I have not been capable of finding any official statements from Google about this transformation. If Google actually is discontinuing assist for the Keep Chrome extension, that may in all probability be the top of utilizing it for bookmarking and I’ll migrate to utilizing OneNote for all bookmarking.
Unfortunately, this is not the primary time that Google has ended assist for a bookmarking instruments that was fashionable with academics. Some of us nonetheless fondly bear in mind Google Notebook and the frustration we felt when Google terminated that product again in 2009. Fortunately, there are many different choices for on-line bookmarking together with the aforementioned OneNote, EverNote, and the native bookmarking device in Chrome.
Even if that is the top of bookmarking with Keep, I’ll in all probability nonetheless use the Keep Android app for creating location-based reminders for myself.
