Android - Saving storage space by creating browser shortcuts instead of installing applications

Simple Idea that I've implemented today after formatting my android phone.
Many websites have apps but they also built HTML sites with responsive design or redirect you to their "m" sub-domain.Installing the site app might give you additional functionally but also will take storage place (+updates + bandwidth + annoying notifications+ background data +++) but if you don't need that functionality then browser shortcuts is the right solution for you.
1- open your mobile browser (I'm using Chrome).
2- go to the requested site.
3- Add the site to your Bookmarks.
4- Open your bookmarks.
5- From the bookmark add the shortcut to your home-screen.
That's it,  now you have a shortcut to the site and you don't need the application.
