When I favorite my banking website, a notification isn't sent to the website telling them I favorited them, nor are my browser favorites public for anyone to see. The semantics, and thus the meaning, are totally different. Chrome doesn't even use the term favorites. It uses the (more accurate, imo) term bookmarks.
