25 Tech Tools, Tricks and Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Chromebook

[ad_1]

Say you use Gmail often. Or Twitter. Or Spotify’s web app. Whatever the website, you can pin it to your shelf, then have it open in its own window whenever you launch it. Doing so will help you avoid racking up and toggling between a bunch of tabs in a single window.

Once you’re on the website you’d like to pin to the Shelf, click a button in the top right-hand corner of Chrome that has three dots arranged vertically. Hover over More Tools, then click Add to Shelf. You’ll be prompted to name the site, so when you hover over the icon on the Shelf, that name will appear (e.g. Gmail). Check the “Open as window” box, then click Add.

This works with apps such as Google Docs, too. Just two-finger-click an app in the Shelf and click “Open as window.” If you want something to no longer “Open as window,” two-finger-click that app or website in the Shelf and click “Open as window” again, removing the checkmark.
