How to add a Google Chrome web shortcut onto your Mac desktop
Adding a Google Chrome web shortcut to your Mac desktop is a quick and easy way to access your favourite websites without having to open a web browser and manually type in the URL.
Here are the steps to create a web shortcut on your Mac desktop:
Open your Google Chrome web browser.
Navigate to the website that you want to create a shortcut for.
Click the 3 dots on the far right-hand side of address bar.
Scroll down to “More Tools” and then “Create Shortcut”.
A dialogue box should open with the option to change the name of the shortcut. Rename it if you want to and then click “Create”.
The new shortcut will be (annoyingly) placed in your Chrome Apps folder, so just click and drag that into your desktop.
You will now see an icon for the website on your desktop. Double-clicking on the icon will open the website in your default web browser.
Adding a web shortcut to your Mac desktop is a convenient way to access your favorite websites quickly. By following the simple steps outlined above, you can easily create a web shortcut, customize the icon, and even assign a keyboard shortcut to open the website. This will save you time and effort in the long run, allowing you to quickly access the websites you use most frequently.
