Google search, YouTube and Gmail are three of the most visited websites on earth. Millions of PC and mobile users visit these sites daily, many people spend hours on these sites. If you visit these sites several times a day on your computer, you probably want to connect Google, YouTube and Gmail to the taskbar and the Windows 10 start screen so you can access these sites with one click.

You can use the default Edge browser or the popular Chrome browser to connect Google, YouTube and Gmail to the taskbar and the Windows 10 start screen. Once you link these sites, you just need to click on their respective icons on the taskbar to open them in the browser you used to link the site to the taskbar or the Windows 10 start screen.
