Changed your mind? Removing a pinned site is easy:

Pinning a website to your Windows taskbar is a great way to access your favorite sites (like Gmail, YouTube, or a work dashboard) with just one click. Instead of opening Chrome first, you can launch the website directly from the taskbar, just like a desktop app.

| Feature | Bookmark (in Chrome) | Pinned Taskbar Icon | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Access | Requires opening Chrome first | One click from desktop | | Visual | Text in a menu | Icon on taskbar | | Window | Opens in a tab | Can open as its own window | | Speed | Slower | Instant |

This method creates a dedicated, icon-only launcher on your taskbar.
