Google doesn’t seem to be able to decide whether this is an important feature for the Mac, however, because it actually vanished for a while from Chrome and then resurfaced just recently. Since they’re just files, you can also tuck them into folders along with groupings of other files for a specific project, client or report too. But what most MacOS X users don’t realize is that there is indeed a slick way that you can add Desktop shortcuts for favorite Web sites or Web pages from Google Chrome. Neither approach is correct, of course, it’s just a matter of preferences. On the Window side it’s probably something that would get lost in all the other shortcuts on your desktop, while on the Mac side no one seems to ever put any shortcuts at all on their desktop! 🙂 It all works pretty well unless you actually want to have a Website shortcut on your desktop. Enter shortcut toolbars, shortcut menus, shortcut submenus, etc. Then bookmarks became a thing and browser developers spent a lot of time designing different ways that you could manage dozens, hundreds or even thousands of website shortcuts. In the early days of the web, it was all about creating desktop shortcuts for favorite websites.
