I think it’s less about not knowing what a bookmark is and more about just having a more direct way to access it, where it’s more high-level than just in a tab.

There’s just something mentally different about opening a program from your dock as opposed to from a tab, even if they’re both basically a website.

- entropicdrifter 2y agoIt used to be fairly common to have web-page shortcuts back in the mid-00's. Lots of apps would add spam shortcuts to your desktop that would just open your web browser to a web page where you were encouraged to buy something/donate/start a free trial. Anyways I think that capability still exists on all modern OSes.
