Start page. Start pages

How do we go online? Well, first - the search engine. And the rest, such as mail, social networks...? We do not ask them in the search every time. Links to what we use regularly should be organized in a convenient way.

Browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer ...)

Links

  Of course, first of all the browser. We no longer go to the search engine to make a request and search, the search engine field is built into the browser, we simply choose the search engine convenient for us. In the browser, you can organize and links. The fastest way is bookmarks. You can create folders in bookmarks, just drag the page of the site that you want to add to it.
You can open all sites in this folder (click right button  mouse). I made myself a selection of links that I watch every morning: mail, news, weather ... One click and look at the queue. Already probably all browsers allow you to enter account  and bind the settings, including bookmarks to your account. So you can log into your account on any computer and get all your bookmarks. Your system crashed, you reinstalled everything again and you do not need to configure everything again, just log in to your account. As for bookmarks, it is easy to add or remove a link to the site.

Browser start page

  Now all browsers offer their simple start pagewhere may be the most visited sites or our selection.
  If you are a simple user, it will be convenient and pleasant for you to use this panel, which is easy to switch to.

Previously open tabs

  We can install in the settings for example: Settings / At startup, open / Previously open tabs.
  Thus, closing the browser, we will not close the open tabs and the next time you open the browser, just continue working in it. And there will be less need for a start page.

Search engines

  Convenient configuration offer leading search engines. For example. Yandex or My Yahoo. Yandex will be closer and clearer to us, and not only because in Russian. Western services, such as news, weather, sports ... have little knowledge of our country and are sharpened to the west. And Yandex is also allowed to create its own widgets and add them to the start page.
  On the start page, you can add widgets with weather, regional news, TV shows, etc. Much can be added or removed.
If you are comfortable with the search for Yandex and you use its mail, then it will be very convenient for you here, why invent something else?

Russian language

AtaviBookmarking service, but in fact it is an easily customizable start page.
  You can choose a search engine.
  Yandex is offered first because there is a good Russian version here.
  That is, the service is not just translated into Russian, but also adapted to the needs of the RuNet. So you can customize the start page for yourself.
  Set up and set up search string, weather, exchange rate, mailmaster, news, recently visited sites ...
  There is a menu of bookmarks, of which there can be a lot.
  You can add specific sites to home pageto always be at hand. You can choose your background. Well, probably the main thing, in addition to all amenities. You can use this page anywhere, on any computer or device, in any browser.

English

Russian language

Simple page with the transition to the main sites.
  Immediately of course the search form to choose from: Yandex. Google or Wikipedia.
  Also links to site groups. Everything works quickly and easily, without rebooting and quickly go to the required site. Only the most popular sites are offered, you cannot edit, but registration is not required.

So, we continue our favorite heading Techno, and this time we want to tell you about the 7th best, in our opinion, Chrome extensions. What can I say, the Web Store is constantly updated, so keep track of all browser-based news can be very difficult.




But we decided to challenge ourselves and searched all the extensions of the aforementioned destination. The start page should display only what I want to see in the morning and at the same time please the eye with its design and functionality. Moreover, it must motivate and improve life. Well, here is the list itself.


1. Be limitless


Limitless is quite simple - it tracks and classifies browser habits and allows you to see how productive your browsing has been in a day. You will see the exact amount of time, up to a second, spent on any website.

For example, you may have spent an hour on the TechInsider site, which means you spent the same time in “Technology.” The indicators change when you spend time on another website of the same category “Technology”.

In the main window Limitless is a quick collection of the most visited websites. You can easily control this feature by turning it on and off with one click. Also Limitless gives you the opportunity to customize the categories of the site and determine whether it belongs to the "productive" or not. And on the main page you can write down whatever you want in a notebook, and these are just some of the huge list of features of the aforementioned super-expansion.

Also in Personalized New Tab Page it is possible to synchronize with the account in the pocket. And if you do not know what to read, the extension itself will offer you interesting articles. Isn't it a miracle?

Chrome New Tab turns into a much more entertaining and artistic window, featuring speed dialing for frequently used and favorite sites, access to flash online games and popular web services such as Spotify, Twitter, YouTube, 9GAG, Hulu and more.

How to change the number of columns?


News is good and bad. To what level do we take the message that Google decided not to support its start page with widgets, news reports and other trifles needed by many of us, everyone decides for himself. Someone got used to it and now faces the need to search and select, but someone doesn’t care - because he uses other start pages. The selection of iGoogle analogues is quite extensive and can take a lot of time. In order not to waste it, consider a few of the most functional, convenient and beautiful starting pages that can be easily replaced with a loss.

Previously published an article about. You can make your browser’s homepage have visual bookmarks with your favorite sites.

1. My Yahoo.

This service is sure to enjoy if you like or have been learning English for a long time. The interface is very beautiful and convenient, besides there are options for importing personal settings from iGoogle and therefore the transition will be made without problems. The disadvantages of this start page can be considered as small customization options to suit your taste and poor performance with runet and various Russian-language resources, since Yahoo is English-speaking. Since the service is fully focused on English-speaking users, it is quite difficult to regularly look at the weather forecast for your city - many small cities in our region are not shown on the maps. But for those users who, on the contrary, prefer to search and communicate on English-language websites, My Yahoo will be very to the taste.

2. Symbaloo.

Tiled solution of the interface with its convenience, clarity and simplicity is gaining more and more fans. The creators of Symbaloo took into account all the fashion trends and, therefore, the look of this start page is fully resolved in a popular and current style. Indeed, the use of the tile is justified and convenient, especially when performing various search queries: after clicking on the desired tile (“Encyclopedia”, “Recipes”, and so on), the search string for the given query will open in the center of the screen. In addition, each user can customize the appearance of the start page to suit your taste - a lot of templates. Those who follow the news will find here a special, news tab for themselves, with options for selecting topics and sorting by time and importance.

This is what this site looks like.

3. Protopage.

Very flexible and convenient start service that allows you to create a personal page with the right amount of bookmarks, themes and widgets. In addition to these features, the user can easily add profiles from social networks, email services and links to other web resources. Each widget can be freely moved and installed in the place of the page where necessary. With all the convenience and simplicity of setting up and working with Protopage, a limited number of widgets can be considered a disadvantage of this start page and, as a result, problems with selecting the right one.

Screen from Protopage site. You can customize all of these blocks on your own.
