This is great for two reasons. First, takes me too long to find bookmarks. Second, I'm about to add Gauding Gadgets to my home screen! 💙 Thank you!

This no longer applies after the recent update

I finally figured out an issue with the add to home screen option. The issue was that some sites save as the home screen and not the actual link that is viewed. No matter what I tried, it's still saved to the home screen of the site every time and not the current article that was being viewed.

I discovered that if you press the three dot menu and then press the download symbol (down arrow), You can then choose the add to home screen option and it will save the specific link that you are viewing (not the home site link).

Of course, there is no guarantee that the specific article will exist when trying to access it later. But there is an added benefit because It saves the title of the article which you can then search and see if it still exists.

I am not sure what causes that switch but I am so happy to know a solution.

If you can't afford to lose the information, it is best to print a PDF copy and save it in your files.

Seems that some pages like for example Weather Channel disable this option. No entry Add to main screen. What then?

I am wondering how to do this with an Airbnb property. I have a property listed in airbnb and I want to create a button that takes me directly to the home. Instead, when I follow the steps you outlined, it takes me to airbnb but not to my property. Any suggestions?

How do you add a specific link to your homescreen? Since the link i need to add changes as i enter it and when i add that page to the home screen it doesn't work since i need to enter the website from a specific link.

How I can actually make it full screen by force on any web?

[apcolleen]

This does not work for AccuWeather because it now tries to make you download their mobile app and it won't let you save to your desktop at least for the radar.
