What's your browser of choice? What is the method by which you navigate the web?  As more and more software products and utilities go cloud-based, we become more reliant on our web browser to complete tasks. 
That being said, let's see if this Tech Tip can't save everyone a couple clicks when accessing your frequently used web pages!
As always reach out if you have any questions.

Ever Advancing,
