I visit a certain website almost every time I open my web browser, and I pin that tab to easily re-visit it. The problem is, when I close Edge, the tab is lost.
How can I pin a tab, and save the pinned tab after closing Edge?
Here is what I have tried and considered, but didn't work out.
- Bookmark it. There are certain advantages (like Ctrl+1 hotkey) to pinning vs bookmarking, so I would not like to bookmark it.
- Save the open tabs. No, because sometimes the last tabs I had open were my online banking, or other things that I don't want to pop up automatically.
- Use Chrome (or Firefox, or ...). No, because, although I do use Chrome elsewhere and love it, this laptop is meant to be wiped clean every so often (sometimes every month) and I don't want to keep installing other software over and over.
- Search for a how-to on another site. I read the top 3 google results, and I tried some other unsuccessful searches on MS sites.
- Search here. I looked through some other questions, but didn't find any that addressed this specifically.
EDIT: i learned that in general the pinned tabs are preserved. Normally my question wouldn't make sense, but I seem to have stumbled on one edge case where pinned tabs are lost - when your start page is set as a new tab and your new tabs are set as empty tabs. I set a different start page and now my pinned tabs are preserved. If anyone has more info on this I would happily still accept an answer. But for now I achieved the functionality I wanted and found an answer to my question.
