Pinning your favorite sites to the Start Screen will save a lot of time, especially if you use the Web frequently. The type of page or post doesnвЂ™t really matter. It can be a page that leads to a download link, resource site, etc. If the shortcut does not work, create a new one. Now, whenever you click on the shortcut in your taskbar, a Microsoft Edge tab will open and it will take you to the URL you created a shortcut for. Right-click on the shortcut and click on Pin to taskbar. On your mobile browser, load any page that you like. Name your shortcut ( Facebook for example).

I guess I just forgot: either it didn't use to work a few years back so I switched to nemo which did work at the time, or I just hate nautilus since it doesn't have a traditional 'Compact' view like in Nemo on Linux and like the 'List' view in Windows Explorer on Windows.The Windows 8 Start Screen is full of useful tiles. UPDATE: This works in the default nautilus file manager too actually. In the window that appears, name your new favorite ( A ), select a destination for it ( B ), and then click the button ( C ). Users may also press Ctrl + D, or click the icon on the right side of the address bar to add a bookmark. One caveat to using nemo as your main file manager in Ubuntu is that the Trash bin in it doesn't work properly! So, whenever you want to retrieve something from the trash or empty the trash, just use the default file manager in Ubuntu, which is nautilus. Right-click a blank portion of the page and select Add to Favorites from the drop-down menu that appears. This helps save battery, and it gives you the option to bookmark an essential piece of content to refer back to later.

Note: to drag a link, hover your mouse then click and drag over the far left side of the bar. Click the Share button in the toolbar, then choose Add Bookmark. Now, in nemo you can just drag and drop links right out of the Chrome/Chromium browser search bar and into the nemo file manager. You can now edit the subtext of the bookmark or add it directly via Add. Here you have to touch Add to Home screen. Next, tap on the Menu button (the three dots) in the upper right corner.

My solution: use the nemo file manager ( sudo apt install nemo) instead of Ubuntu's default of nautilus. Next, enter the URL for the page or app you would like to bookmark.
