We all have our preferred websites that we visit daily or multiple times a day. It could be a news website, a social media platform or your company’s web portal. How would you like to have a shortcut for these websites right at your fingertips every time you open Google Chrome? Here is a simple step-by-step guide on how to pin a website on Google Chrome.
Step 1: Open the Website
Firstly, launch Google Chrome and open the website that you want to pin.
Step 2: Access the Tab Options
Once your desired website is open, right-click on the tab of the website. A drop-down menu will appear.
Step 3: Select ‘Pin Tab’
In the drop-down menu, you will see the option ‘Pin Tab’. Click on it.
Step 4: Confirm the Pin
After clicking ‘Pin Tab’, the tab of the website will move to the left of your tab bar and will be displayed as a small icon. This means the website tab is now pinned.
Note:
To unpin the tab, you simply need to right-click on the pinned tab and select ‘Unpin Tab’.
Advantages of Pinning a Tab
Pinning a tab on Google Chrome is incredibly beneficial. Below are a few advantages:
- Pinned tabs will auto-load when you start Google Chrome.
- Pinned tabs are smaller and only show the site’s favicon, thus saving space on your tab bar.
- Accidental closure of pinned tabs is prevented as the ‘x’ to close the tab disappears.
Now you won’t have to manually search for your frequently visited websites every time you open Google Chrome. A pinned tab is just a click away!
