Adding a Specific Website
If you have a specific website in mind that you’d like to add to the home screen, it can be done very easily. You can add individual webpages to your home page where it won’t look too unlike the apps you’ve downloaded.
Adding Multiple Websites
While adding a single website is useful, there may be times where you would like to add multiple bookmarks in one go to your home screen on Android. You could repeat the above process for each website, but there’s a neater and more organized way to solve this problem. This involves using bookmarks and placing an entire bookmark folder on the home screen instead.

Bookmark Folder is a completely free Android app (a premium version is available for $2.99 to remove ads and has a few extra features) that allows you to gather links from any browser. You can then tap the three dots beside any folder or link to add a shortcut to your Android home screen. If you’re trying to find a more privacy-focused browser, try one of these options. If you deleted the bookmarks widget, just go back through the process of adding the widget again. If you’re afraid of losing your icons when switching phones or in the event your phone dies, consider logging into Google Chrome and saving all your bookmarks. Save all the web pages you’ve added to your home screen (or other screens) into a single folder. Then, if everything gets deleted, log back in to Chrome and re-add your shortcuts from your bookmarks folder.
