Browsers Allow Pinning Tabs to Taskbar

Leave a reply

One of the many perks of utilizing browsers, such as Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, includes being able to pin tabs to the task bar. This allows easy access to your most frequently used websites without having to open up your browser and search for it.

To pin the website you most frequently use on Edge:
  • Open the Microsoft Edge browser
  • Search for the website you would like pinned
  • Click on the three dots in the right hand corner
  • Go to More Tools
  • Click Pin to Taskbar
Pin tabs to task bar on Google Chrome
  • Open Google Chrome Browser
  • Search for the website you would like pinned
  • Click on the three dots in the right hand corner (“customize and control Google Chrome”)
  • Go to More Tools
  • Click Create Shortcut

From there, the shortcut icon will show up on the background. Clicking and dragging the icon to the Windows 10 task bar will immediately pin it.

Leave a reply

Mozilla’s developer team has been hard at work updating Firefox after multiple reports of crashes.

Named 80.0.1, this update contains the correction of the browser crashing due to a GPU reset. And although these issues first began a few days ago, sources have stated that the GPU issues have occurred several months ago.

According to Mozilla’s release note, additional fixes included:
  • Fixed a performance regression when encountering new intermediate CA certificates (bug 1661543)
  • Fixed crashes possibly related to GPU resets (bug 1627616)
  • Fixed rendering on some sites using WebGL (bug 1659225)
  • Fixed the zoom-in keyboard shortcut on Japanese language builds (bug 1661895)
  • Fixed download issues related to extensions and cookies (bug 1655190)

Once the browser update is complete on your PC, it’s recommended you restart Firefox to finalize the changes in it’s entirety.

If you don’t have Firefox, you can simply download the newest version of Firefox on their website.
