It looks just like any other program you’d run on your computer.Ī few months ago Google removed an important checkbox from that process – the box that said “Open as window.” It was the secret sauce that made it work. I wrote an article three years ago about how to set up a shortcut that opens up a website in Chrome in a special window, separate from the other browser windows and tabs, without the normal Chrome toolbar and buttons at the top. Any website might be in that category for you for me it’s Office 365 webmail, Twitter, Dropbox, my LastPass Vault, and some of the dashboards for line-of-business apps. When you set up a website to open in its own window, it shows up separately on the taskbar so you can switch to it easily, and you won’t close it by accident when you’re closing 12 other tabs in your main Chrome window. There are some websites that fit your workflow best when they are running in their own separate window. It’s still possible but it takes a bit of extra effort. Google has changed the steps required to pin a website to your Windows 10 taskbar.
