Giving a search on Google(and here) I saw that it was possible to a certain time ago add addresses to browser favorites in Javascript, but the methods used for this were discontinued and I would like to know if there are new methods or is no longer possible to perform it?

I use the code I found on this link: https://www.thewebflash.com/how-to-add-a-cross-browser-add-to-favorites-bookmark-button-to-your-website/

The example uses jQuery. I tested again now that I’m answering this question to confirm compatibility, and it works on IE11, Firefox 51 and Chrome 63:

$('#addFavorito').click(function(e) {
    var bookmarkURL = window.location.href;
    var bookmarkTitle = document.title;

    if ('addToHomescreen' in window && addToHomescreen.isCompatible) {
      // Mobile browsers
      addToHomescreen({ autostart: false, startDelay: 0 }).show(true);
    } else if (window.sidebar && window.sidebar.addPanel) {
      // Firefox <=22
      window.sidebar.addPanel(bookmarkTitle, bookmarkURL, '');
    } else if ((window.sidebar && /Firefox/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) || (window.opera && window.print)) {
      // Firefox 23+ and Opera <=14
      $(this).attr({
        href: bookmarkURL,
        title: bookmarkTitle,
        rel: 'sidebar'
      }).off(e);
      return true;
    } else if (window.external && ('AddFavorite' in window.external)) {
      // IE Favorites
      window.external.AddFavorite(bookmarkURL, bookmarkTitle);
    } else {
      // Other browsers (mainly WebKit & Blink - Safari, Chrome, Opera 15+)
      alert('Press ' + (/Mac/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ? 'Cmd' : 'Ctrl') + '+D to bookmark this page.');
    }

    return false;
  });
