You can start Google Chrome to open a specific page, a new tab, or continue where you left off from the On startup option. We will show you how to set this option to load your Google Apps. You can use the same procedure to load any website at startup or create a bookmark.
Setup the On Startup Option
Your Google Apps can be displayed using the On startup option. First, to set this option, open Chrome and click the Menu (the 3 dots) in the upper right corner, then navigate to:
Settings > On startup
Next, under the Open a specific page or set of pages option, enter the following:
chrome://apps/
Refer to the below image:
Now whenever you start Chrome, your Google Apps page will be displayed.
By doing the above, you can just click the Home button next to the address bar to display your Google Apps anytime. See the below image:
Clicking the Home button next to the address bar will display the page you have set as the On startup page.
Setup the Google Apps Bookmark on Desktop
If you do not have the On startup option set to Google Apps, why not create a bookmark for it. Following are the steps to do this.
First, open the Google Apps page you want to bookmark in Chrome. See the following image:
Next, click the Star icon in the address bar. Refer to the below image:
Now, choose a name and location for your bookmark then hit Done. See the below image:
Next, head to your saved bookmark to see your Google Apps entry. See the following image:
Setup the Google Apps Bookmark on iPhone
First, open the Google Apps page you want to bookmark in Chrome then tap the Share button. Refer to the below image:
Next, tap the Add to Bookmarks option. See the below image:
Edit the Google Apps Bookmark on iPhone
First, tap the Menu (the 3 dots) at the bottom right corner. See the following image:
Next, tap the Edit Bookmark option. Refer to the below image:
Now, change as necessary, then tap Done. See the below image:
Not only do bookmarks save you time as you do not need to type in a URL or search for your most frequently visited sites on Google every time you visit, but they are also great for keeping track of articles and videos you plan to head back to later. If you do not have Google Apps set as your startup page, creating a bookmark allows you to easily display the page.
