Once logged in, use the mouse or trackpad to click and hold on the URL in the Safari address bar. In the Plex example, I’ll navigate to the Plex Web URL, which is, and then log in with my account credentials if necessary. Another example aside from Plex: if I want to create a Dock icon to launch the Buffalo Sabres page at TSN, I’d navigate to that exact URL ( ), not the primary TSN URL ( ). Make sure to navigate to the exact URL you want to open with your Dock icon. First, launch Safari and navigate to the website you wish to add to your Dock. While I’m using Plex in my example, these steps can be used to add a Dock icon for just about any website. But I decided to make launching Plex even faster by adding a shortcut to my Plex server’s address directly to the Dock.
Until now, I’ve accessed Plex on my Mac by launching Safari and using a bookmark to my Plex server in the Bookmarks Bar. For example, I use Plex on my Mac, and even though there is a full-featured Plex app for OS X, I prefer the interface of the “ Plex Web” experience, which is accessed via a browser. The Dock in Mac OS X is how most users launch their frequently used applications, but it can also be a great way to jump directly to your favorite websites.
