So why should you use ‘Save to Google’ extension when you can save web pages on your browser as bookmarks?

The answer is quite simple. When you save any web page on your browser, no matter which browser it is, you can only access the information on your own browser. For example, if you have saved something on the laptop browser, then you will not be able to access that information from your smart phone.
