Open Microsoft Edge, select a favorite website then click the “…” (Settings) in the top right corner. In the drop-down menu move to “Apps.” Click “Install this site as an App.” In the pop-up window click Install. Next, you’ll see an option to install the current site as an App on your Taskbar, Start menu, Desktop, or Auto-start on Device login. Choose any of the selections then click Allow. Doing so allows the site to launch in its own window without the usual menu clutter. This Edge feature can change how you can use the Web. It allows you to quickly access your important or favorite sites without first opening Edge and clicking on your desired site in a large list of Bookmarks. While Chrome offers a similar capability, Edge turns web apps into a featured attraction, with a single menu for seeing what you’ve installed.
