Today and through the popular Internet browsers , we visit a huge number of web pages, either for one thing or another. For this we make use of programs as widely used and widespread as Google Chrome, Firefox or Edge, among others.
These serve as intermediaries when connecting to the Internet, and in turn visit sites and web platforms of all kinds. Whether it is to watch movies and series, play games, work, talk to others, or simply read news, these programs are best suited. But despite the wide availability of the same that we can draw on in these moments, the undisputed leader in the sector is Google’s proposal, Chrome .
And it must be borne in mind that around 60% of users prefer to use this software on the Internet, all in spite of the criticism it receives. That is why the search giant does not stop working and improving the software . With this, what it achieves is that its hundreds of millions of users can have a better experience with the program.
Chrome allows to use the webs as independent applications
It is for all this that in these same lines we are going to focus on a functionality that will possibly be very useful in certain circumstances. Specifically, we refer to the possibility of accessing certain websites, as if they were local applications. This, as you can imagine, will give us direct access to those URLs, all without having to go through the aforementioned web browser first .
But that is not all, since in addition, when dealing with, let’s say, local applications , we can manage them as such. With this, what we want to tell you is that we can locate these shortcuts wherever we want, that is, where their execution is most comfortable for us. This is the case, for example, of one of the elements of Windows that we most often fall back on when running programs.
We talk about the system task bar, a Windows desktop location where we usually anchor the programs that we use most commonly. Well, at this point we will tell you that these applications belonging to Chrome websites, we can also anchor them to this bar. Below we will show you the best way to achieve it.
Pin Chrome webs to the Windows taskbar
For all this, the first thing we do is access the Google program as such. So, in the Chrome address bar, we write the website URL regularly, in order to access its content. So, once it has been loaded on the screen, we have to go to the application menu from the button of the three vertical points. Serve as an example that we want to create a local application on our website, so after accessing it, in this menu click on the Install ITIGIC option.
At that moment, a shortcut like that of any other application will appear on the system desktop. This will help us to access our website whenever we need to by double-clicking on it, without having to access the browser . But at the same time, as we mentioned earlier, we will also have the opportunity to pin that shortcut, to the Windows taskbar . To achieve this, all we have to do is right-click on it.
Then, in the task bar that will appear on the screen, we will have to click on the option to Pin to the task bar.
