Using the Bookmarks Bar

You likely have at least a handful of websites you visit every day. You may have them bookmarked or you may simply rely on your web browser’s history to fill in the address as you start typing. But are you using the very convenient and visually appealing bookmarks toolbar?

Placing your most frequented websites on the bookmarks bar makes browsing and jumping from site to site that much quicker for you. If you haven’t seen this feature before, it’s an option on all major web browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge.

On Chrome, using this feature is as simple as selecting the three dots in the upper right corner, pulling up ‘Bookmarks’ and then choosing ‘Show Bookmarks Bar.’ To populate the bookmarks bar, simply click and grab the lock icon next to the address of the site you are interested in visiting often, then pull the address into your bookmarks bar. You can rename and move sites around according to your preferences.

Another quick and efficient way to arrive at your most-visited pages is by setting them to open in separate tabs whenever you open your browser. For Chrome users, head to 'settings,' then 'default browser,' then under the ‘on startup’ option, you can enter the web pages you would like your browser to display every time you open it. The sites will open as separate tabs in one window. This is an excellent way to start your day - with all your most-used sites loaded and ready for you!
