macOS’ Safari web browser offers a Pinned Sites feature that allows you to keep your favorite websites open and active such as …. ahem … OWC’s Rocket Yard blog.

Pinned sites stay in place, even when you open a new Safari window or quit and reopen Safari. When you click a link to another website from a Pinned Site, the other website opens in a new tab. Your Pinned Site always shows the website you pinned.
You can reorder a pinned site by dragging it before or after another pinned site in the tab bar.
