How to pin a website to the taskbar from Edge?

Answer

Pinning your favorite websites to the Windows taskbar directly from the Microsoft Edge browser is a great way to turn web resources into something resembling familiar desktop applications. When you frequently use a specific website—such as an email client, a music service, or a work platform—constantly opening a tab in the browser can become tedious. Creating a shortcut on the taskbar allows you to launch the desired website with a single mouse click, bypassing the step of opening the browser itself and typing the address.

The process of creating such quick access is implemented very simply and does not require deep technical knowledge.

Open the website you want to pin to the taskbar in the Microsoft Edge browser.
Click the three-dot menu icon in the upper-right corner of the browser window.
Hover your mouse cursor over the More tools option in the drop-down list.
In the submenu that appears, select Pin to taskbar.

After this, the website's icon, taken from its favicon, will appear on your taskbar. In some versions of the browser, the option Open when Windows starts is also available, which allows the website to open automatically when the computer starts up. Now, when you click on the created shortcut, the website will open in a separate window without unnecessary browser controls, creating the feel of working with a fully independent program.
