Browser-like tools that save CPU

Having too many tabs open not only makes the browsing process unbearable, it also makes your Mac painfully slow due to increased CPU consumption. Here are the workarounds. 

Browse from Mac desktop 
Essential browser tabs in the menu bar 

Imagine browser tabs were menu bar items. No matter what you’re doing, you don’t have to open your browser to go to a certain page, you just have to move the pointer up and click the icon. That’s what MenubarX does for you.



These amazing MenubarX shortcuts will help you keep tabs on the essential web pages (quite literally!) I use MenubarX for Twitter (no judgment please), my company website that I need to refer to throughout the day, and the good old Google search bar — just in case I need to google something fast. 

Browser in a widget 

Did you know you could browse a website right from your desktop widget? Unlike the native macOS widgets, WidgetWall lets you create widgets with browsable web pages! 



Hope this how-to will help you solve tasks faster, and enjoy solving them, too! Check out more use cases picked for you below.
