How to Create an Edge Web App

Edge
We love finding new features and useful tips for Windows and we recently came across this great little option in Edge browser where you can turn a web page into a App on your PC.

If you regularly go to certain websites, you might like this feature a lot. By turning the page into an App you can pin it to your taskbar or start menu, and even have it load up automatically when you sign into your PC.

The page still opens in Edge, but with a cleaner and more simplified view.

Create the App

First, go to the page you want to create as an app, then click on the three dots in the top right hand corner (this is called the ‘ellipsis’ or sometimes ‘meatball menu’ apparently!) and choose Apps, then ‘Install this site as an app’

You’ll get a prompt to install, and you can also edit the display name

Choose how and where you would like the app to appear. You can choose to pin it to the taskbar or start menu, add a shortcut to the desktop, and even auto-start the app when you log in.

Now all you need to do is click!

This is a major shift in cyber security advice, and overturns decades of password-centric best practices.

AI Chatbots Comparison – Not All The Same

In recent years, AI has transitioned from a term used rarely to hearing it used in almost every conversation. Studies have shown that one in six organisations in the UK use AI in the workplace. This is because AI can automate tasks like drafting emails, summarising meetings and generating report. Some AI models are ‘multimodal’, meaning they can work with text, images, voice and video, while others are ‘unimodal’, built for one type of input like just text.
