Help with something really basic, which I am unable to figure out. In Windows creating a shortcut (link) for a website is as easy as dragging-and-dropping the favicon/address bar to the desktop or a folder.



I tried the same in Ubuntu (Chrome browser), but it's not working. The web page is being saved as a file, but not as a link/shortcut.




  • Am I missing something or is there no way to quickly create shortcuts to web pages/web sites without installing some app for that?


  • If the above is true, is there an app that does what I need?




I hope I am clear enough.

One possible way:




  • Click the Wrench symbol and choose Bookmarks - Always show bookmarks bar

  • Navigate to the webpage you want to create the shortcut for

  • right click the bookmark bar and choose Add Page and create a bookmark in the bookmark bar

  • (alternatively, you can just drag-and-drop the favicon into the bookmark bar, which creates a bookmark for the current page)

  • Drag and drop the bookmark onto the desktop. This will create a shortcut to the webpage on your desktop
