Introduction: Do you Know What Google Favorites Is?

If you use Google Chrome as your default browser on your Mac, then you may not be aware of the “Google Favorites” feature. This feature allows you to easily access your favorite websites with just a few clicks. Here’s how to add Google to Favorites on your Mac:

First, open up the Google Chrome browser and click on the three vertical dots in the upper right-hand corner. Next, click on “Settings” and then scroll down to the “On Startup” section. Here, you will see a list of options for what you can do when you open up Chrome – one of which is “Open a specific page or set of pages”. Click on this option and then click on the “Add a new page” option.

In the next window, you will want to enter “https://www.google.com/” into the box labeled “Open this page:”. You can also give this favorite a name by entering something into the “Name:” field – we suggest simply calling it “Google”. Once you’re done, click on the “Add” button and then close out of the Settings window.

The next time you open up Chrome, you will now see your new Google Favorite listed under the Other Bookmarks section!
