Technical Question. Can I put links on my phone?
I have a phone and I have a tablet. Since the loss of Rush I listen to podcasts as if they were radio. I go to websites and click on the podcast audio. That way I bypass all the garbage and advertising on the players.
What I would like to do is see if I could have a little picture and link for each site on my phone. So I could just roll from site to site. I already have them in my favorites on brave which is yhe browser on everything.
Can it be done? Does it make sense?

On an iPhone you can add a website to your home screen so it looks like an app.
I have a Samsung galaxy with the pen
That is exactly what I want to do though.
When using the chrome browser and I want to save a site as a desktop link, I click on the three dots, top right and a drop down menu opens up.
Scroll down to where it says “add to desktop” and follow the instructions.
Very easy to do.
“That is exactly what I want to do though.”
You can make a shortcut/launch icon for your home screen on any phone. But clicking it still goes through the browser and you are still at the mercy of the ads on players or the site you go to it’s self. It is just a shortcut that still opens it in the other needed apps to render and play.
Same with the brave browser except it says “add to home screen!”
My guess is that all browsers have a similar option.
Unless the site has a “make available offline” option I’m not sure you can do what you want.
Thank you. I see hw it can be done!
Thank you!
Just did it!thanks
With smart phones we just have to think “PC”. Nothing can be used offline unless it has been first downloaded. Pages, Images, Videos, Etc.
