Hello Reginald,
Try the following:
i. activate the menu bar, it will say something like chrome button menu.
ii. arrow down to the bookmarks, it has a sub-menu, and right arrow will get
you into this section, which has a number of items.
iii. select the "bookmark this page" if you want to place the page you are
focused on to the bookmarks folder/list. This is incidentally what is refered
to as favourites in Internet
explorer.
The short cut key is ctrl +D, I think but you can check this when you get to
the sub-menu the long way.
"Hope this helps.
Thanks.
Jimmy.

Many thanks, Sam. I was advised to move to Google Chrome, and so far so good,
except that I have not found a place to save my "Favourite"
website addresses as I used to do with Internet Explorer: anyone with some help
in this regard?

If you are a screen reader user and also a user of the Mozilla
Firefox web browser, please pay close attention to the following
information. Do not update to the soon to be released Firefox 57.
This upgrade represents such a significant technical and performance
change that it's going to be known as Firefox Quantum. The changes in
Firefox Quantum are designed to improve the speed and security of the
browser. This, unfortunately, also impacts on the user experience for
screen reader users, most screen access software is completely
incompatible with Firefox Quantum and those that still function will
exhibit a serious deterioration in performance. At this stage, the
National Federation of the Blind access technology team, VFO and NV
Access are all recommending that users switch to using Firefox's
Extended Support Release (ESR) version in order to have the latest
browser security features and to avoid 57 until it is suitable for
use with screen readers.
You can

Firefox ESR here.
