CHROME: hey i put a button up here called "reading list"
ME: what is that
CHROME: ...
ME: (clicks it)
CHROME: You& #39;ll find your reading list here. To save a page for later, click the Bookmark icon
ME: (looks for icon shaped like a bookmark)
CHROME: ...
ME: (googles it)
GOOGLE: to add to your reading list, click the Bookmark icon, which is the same for bookmarking a website
ME: the... star? the star-shaped icon. the icon that is a shape we have a word for already, that is called "star"
GOOGLE: ...yes
i dunno, if you have a feature called READING LIST where you BOOKMARK things to READ maybe there is some established visual metaphor you could tie into there??? it might take top minds a serious brainstorming session but i think you can do it google!!
why the fuck has the star been introduced as a symbol for bookmarks, have you ever tried to put a star inside a book? your paperback would be vaporized before it even got close
even the new sub-icons in the bookmark menu aren& #39;t bookmarks
this is apparently google& #39;s clone of Pocket, which has a very cute name and icon that ties together in a fun way in your brain! you click the little pocket with the arrow to put it in your pocket for later! and it& #39;s more flexible, maybe I wanna put a video or a song in there!

like i can put a youtube or soundcloud in my reading list but the whole metaphor breaks down and remember how it used to be a big deal that google hired smart people and you had to pass like a genius puzzle test to get in lol
also look at this boring ass icon that is just like, I dunno, a list or whatever. this is your list. it& #39;s got like bullet points. who knows.
it& #39;s in a rectangle. we put a lot of thought into this.
WHY don& #39;t you click the READING LIST BUTTON to put something on your reading list???? what is wrong with these people
like if it& #39;s gonn take two clicks anyway just put a plus button here ffs
i dont even care if this is a useful feature i& #39;m too mad about this implementation i dont even wanna look at it lol
