Create your own Startpage

A startpage is a homepage that you see when you open your browser.
It often contains links to all kinds of places that you want to visit immediately after opening your browser. You can create your own browser startpage on your PC, laptop, or phone from scratch using HTML tags. Basically, a whole bunch of "daily" links on the opening page of your browser, besides your browser fovorite list.
It is relatively easy to make. In short:
  • Create (easiest on your laptop) a webpage in HTML code (the extension must be .html)
  • Put the file in your phone or laptop (local), or upload it to a website-provider (extern).
  • Then make a shortcut of this webpage on your laptop or add to it your home screen on your phone.

You can make a startpage in HTML with Notepad or you may want to use a program which create ready-to-use start pages. (or even download an already made startpage).
However: Most of these online programs require you to create an account or log in with a google account. You are then bound by their terms and your privacy is in their hands with which they can do whatever they want.

Your startpage may look different on your pc and your phone because the screen sizes are very different. You may want to make one startpage for your pc and a bit different one for your phone.

And now: how to get your startpage on your browser.

By the way: instead of a startpage on your browser, you can now also group the tabs of your browser. Search for this with DuckDuckGo.
