Google Chrome makes it easy to open shortcuts to websites from the bookmarks bar, but did you know that you can also create shortcuts to your favorite websites by adding them to your desktop or to a folder on your computer.

When you create a shortcut to a web page, the shortcut opens the web page in a standalone window without any menus, tabs, or other browser components.

A Chrome shortcut can also be configured to open as a standard web page in a new browser tab since the standalone window option isnt available in all versions of Windows.

Go to the Chrome menu, located in the upper right-hand corner of the browser and represented by three vertically aligned dots.

Select More tools and choose either Add to desktop, Create shortcut, or Create application shortcuts (the option you see depends on your operating system).

The above method isnt the only way to make shortcuts that open in Chrome.

Quick Tip Learn Facebook Keyboard Shortcuts for Chrome and Firefox.

You might go Duh on that one, but think of it this way the more time you have, the more you can waste.

I am telling you all this in the light of the fact that Facebook is one of the biggest time-sinks we have around us these days.

It has been estimated (last years figures) that on an average Facebook users spend at least 12 minutes and 26 seconds on the social network daily.

Thats a generalization of course, because I personally spend more.

The point is that we can spend those minutes more efficiently by learning some keyboard shortcuts.

And you dont even have to strain to remember them because they are all activated with the Alt key in Chrome and the Alt Shift key in Firefox.

Please note that the keyboard shortcuts work only in the Lightbox mode.
