How to Pin a Website to Taskbar?

It may seem like an easy task to pin a website to the taskbar. However, the steps are slightly different depending on the browser you’re using. So, let’s check in detail for the most popular browsers. If you don’t find a browser you use on this list, please look for similar settings and options.

On Google Chrome

1. Visit the website you want to pin. 
2. Click on the three dots in the upper-right corner. 
3. Click on More Tools and then click on Create Shortcut. If you’re using Chrome on a Mac, you’ll notice the option Choose to Save Page Instead As… instead of the Create a Shortcut option. 
4. Chrome will now ask you if you want to create a shortcut. Next, check the box that says Open as window. 
5. Then, click on Create. 
6. Now, once you can view the site logo on your taskbar, right-click on it and select Pin to Taskbar. 

If you ever unpin this shortcut, you can still find it on your desktop. Alternatively, if you want to save the webpage but you don’t want them in your taskbar anymore, you can try another trick. When you click on More Tools, select Save page as. 

You can download the website shortcut and keep it saved in a folder and click on it whenever you need to quickly access it. The shortcut will be saved with a Chrome logo. 

On Microsoft Edge

1. Visit your desired website on Microsoft Edge.
2. Click on the three dots in the upper-right corner.
3. Then, click on More Tools. 
4. Now, select Pin to Taskbar. 

On Safari

1. Open Safari and visit a website of your choice. 
2. Drag the website tab to the left panel of the tab bar. 
3. After the tab shows the website icon, drop it in your desired location. You can even select Window and then control-click the tab. Then, select Pin Tab. 

If you want to unpin the tab, select Window and then click on Unpin Tab. 

On Firefox

Although there’s no quick way to pin a website from Firefox to the taskbar, we can try another trick:

1. Right-click on the Firefox shortcut on your desktop.
2. Click on Open File Location.
3. Now, right-click on the Firefox application.
4. Select Create Shortcut.
   
5. Windows will show you a pop-up option asking you to place the shortcut on the desktop. Click on Yes.
6. Go to the desktop again and right-click on the new Firefox shortcut. Click on Properties.
   
7. In the Target field, paste the URL of a website beside the existing address.
   
8. Click on Apply > OK.
9. Now, your set website will automatically open whenever you launch this shortcut.
10. Lastly, simply pin this shortcut to the taskbar by right-clicking on the Firefox logo on the taskbar.
11. Click on Pin to taskbar.
