Is there a way to change what happens after you save a new entry? I want to remain on the page I just saved so I can view it in the browser and return to continue editing, without having to find the page again in the all pages/entries area.

Is there a way to change the Craft CMS defaults on this?
You can, and it's easy!

The "Save" button contains a dropdown arrow, with alternative options for saving:



You'll notice that "Save and continue editing" is the top option. You may also notice that there's a keyboard shortcut for it... cmd + s on Mac, ctrl + s on PC.
