• Even if you have created this icon using one browser (say Safari), the link will always open in the default browser of your Mac
• Following the above steps you may also drag the link to your Mac’s desktop. However, to open the website from the desktop shortcut, it will require you to double click, while for the website shortcut on Dock you only need a single click

But we have a solution for this too. Use the above steps to create the website icon on Mac’s Desktop (not Dock). Then right-click on the website shortcut and follow these simple steps to change the image. Once you are done, just drag the website shortcut from Desktop to the Dock. Voila!
