feature-request Keep the name of the feature as "Bookmarks/Bookmarking" or find a more appropriate term.
Maybe something along the lines of "Notebook" (as suggested in the comments) would be a better name, which would lead to "save in my notebook", "saved items", and "in:notebook". It would also make sense as a name if the feature were further expanded to include other sorts of notes or information organization.
Expanding on what terdon has already pointed out,
The definition of save as a noun:
- In various sports, a block that prevents an opponent from scoring.
- (baseball) When a relief pitcher comes into a game leading by 3 points
- (runs) or less, and his team wins while continually being ahead.
- (professional wrestling, slang) A point in a professional wrestling match when one or more wrestlers run to the ring to aid a fellow wrestler who is being beaten.
- (computing) The act, process, or result of saving data to a storage medium.
- (role-playing games) A saving throw.
This is not a good way to describe bookmarking a page so you can refer to it later. It implies making a copy that isn't going to change. Using "save" as a noun in the context of saving a link in a list is likely to confuse some people. If I "save" a web page in my browser, it downloads it to my disk.
Sure, most technical people fluent in English won't have trouble understanding it, but why not just continue to use the most appropriate and well-understood term?

an address on the Internet that you record so that you can quickly find something again:
Add this website to your bookmarks.
I can't find a learner's dictionary that has the computing sense of "save" as a noun. The only definition they have is the sporting one: "block that prevents an opponent from scoring".
I understand wanting to differentiate this new feature from the old style bookmarks, but I don't think that is a good enough reason to avoid using the most commonly understood terms. Organizing bookmarks into lists and annotating them is not a new thing. There are probably good translations already in place for bookmarking terms.
It is weird that the bookmark icon was retained for "Saves" instead of the floppy disk icon normally associated with saving. If the concept were really that different, I assume retaining the old icon would be a source of confusion.
