To save the web pages you visit on a device, the best option is bookmarks . These allow you to save any page in browsers, that way they can be revisited regularly with great ease.
The problem with this is that some pages are saved to be visited once in a while and can get mixed up with regularly visited bookmarks. That’s why Google Chrome incorporated into its features a so-called ‘ Reading List’, basically they are separate bookmarks from the regular list, ideal for saving pages that you want to read and delete quickly.

How do you activate the reading list in Google Chrome?
Activating the reading list in the Google Chrome browser is extremely simple. First of all, if the browser is newly installed or has been updated to the latest version (which is necessary to use the reading list ) the function should already be available.
You can check it by looking in the bookmarks bar if the reading list appears on the right. If it does not appear, you must right click on the bar and select between the options “Show reading list” . After doing so, you should be able to see the reading list on the right.
Now all that remains is to decide whether to show the bookmarks bar (and therefore the reading list) when entering web pages. This can be configured from the bookmarks options by selecting “Show bookmarks bar” , by activating this option the bookmarks bar will be seen regardless of whether it is in the start window or inside a web page.
How to activate the reading list if it is not available?
On some occasions the list will be deactivated and will have to be activated manually. To do this, you must enter the link chrome://flags and search for “Reading List” in the search bar at the top of the browser. The option should then appear on the screen: selecting “enable” will enable it while selecting “disable” will disable it.
Finally, you just have to launch the browser again in the “Relaunch” option . This will restart the browser and the function will be enabled in future sessions, in the event that it does not appear, it will be enough to show the function in the bookmarks bar following the previous steps.
How do I use the Google Chrome reading list?
After activating the function, you have to take advantage of it by adding pages to the reading list . To get started, it’s a good idea to sign in on all your devices to sync your reading list across all your devices.
Although regardless of whether it is done or not, adding and removing pages is extremely fast . after all this function exists to save pages that are not constantly visited unlike regularly used bookmarks.
Add a page to your list
To add a page to the reading list, the quickest and easiest way to do it is by visiting the web page and once inside that page add it to the list. For that, just click on the reading list icon (the bookmarks bar should be visible) and there you will see the option to add the current tab to the reading list.
Remove pages from your list
To delete a page after reading it, the steps will be much simpler since it will not even be necessary to open the page . Just open the reading list from any browser tab and from there click on the “X” of the page you want to remove from the reading list.
What do you have to do to use the reading list in the mobile version?
This feature is quite useful for keeping pages and also, Google allows you to sync account data between devices . Therefore, by activating the synchronization it is possible to take the pages saved in the reading list to mobile devices, although it is still possible to deactivate said synchronization between devices.
An Android
To use the reading list on an Android device, the process is also extremely simple. First of all, the function must be activated by visiting the chrome://flags link and repeating the steps as in the desktop version of the browser.
To save pages to the reading list, the process is the same as adding a regular bookmark, except that the device will ask if you want to save the page to bookmarks or to the reading list.
From your iPhone
Although iOS devices usually have problems with some applications, in the case of the Google Chrome browser for iPhone this does not happen. The app works exactly the same as an Android device would, so activating the feature and saving pages follows the same steps as on any mobile.
With the reading list, saving web pages is now much easier: now with Google Chrome it is possible to immediately classify the pages that you want to visit regularly to those pages that are only saved to be quickly read and forgotten.
