By doing so, every time you launch Chrome, your site will automatically load, allowing you to quickly and easily access the content and features that you need. This can save you time and effort, especially if you frequently visit your site throughout the day. Additionally, having your site set as the startup page can help you stay organized and focused, as it ensures that you always start your browsing session with the information that matters most to you. Whether you're using your React site for work or personal use, setting it as your Chrome startup page can be a convenient and helpful tool to have in your arsenal.
