Pin Sites using Edge Chromium to Windows 10 Taskbar
In case, you want to try this feature, then here’s what you need to do:

2. Next, visit the website which you want to pin to the taskbar.
3. Now click on the Setting and more (…) icon available on the upper right corner. From the menu select More tools > Pin to taskbar.
A quick dialog box will open up asking you to enter the name of site. It will automatically pick the site name from site title. In case, you want to rename it or want to set the custom name, then you can also do that.

Now whenever you click on the pinned site icon on the taskbar, the browser will launch the site in the new tab. In case, the same site is already opened in the browser, then you will be switched to the same tab.
