Pin a Website from Google Chrome

Navigate to the website you want to pin. Click the three vertical dots in the top right of Chrome, hover your mouse over “Save and Share,” then select “Create Shortcut.”

In the pop-up menu, change the name of the shortcut if desired, and click “Create.” This will automatically create an icon on your Windows desktop and pin the link to your taskbar.

By default, Chrome will open the web page as a tab in a normal Chrome browser window. You can check the “Open as Window” option to have Chrome open the page in its own window with its own taskbar icon when you click the shortcut.
