Install Start.me in Kinza Browser

The Kinza Browser is a partner of Start.me. You don't have to install Start.me in your browser. Everything is already there. There are still some personalization options you could choose to implement.

Set Start.me as your homepage

When you set Start.me as the default homepage for the Kinza Browser, you can access your favorite bookmarks and widgets faster and more efficiently. The Kinza Browser runs on the Chromium platform, so if you know Google Chrome, they should feel familiar.

The default setting for your Kinza browser is to open three pages. Start.me is one of them.

Instructions

  1. Open the settings page from the Kinza menu (three dots icon) or go there directly by typing chrome://settings in the address bar.

  2. In the Appearance section of the settings page, select the Show Home button option and click Change to change your home button to direct you to http://kinza.start.me.

  3. While you're there, check if the "Show bookmarks bar" is toggled on. It will come in handy later.

  4. The next thing to do is to set Start.me as your Startup page. To do so, scroll down in the settings page until you find the menu option On startup. Here you can select the Open a specific page or set of pages button. You just leave the pre-programmed address: http://kinza.start.me/.

  5. If you now close and open the Kinza Browser, you'll find an anonymous Start.me page. First, sign out. Click the user icon and select 'Sign out.'

  6. Next, click the button in the top-right of your screen: 'sign in' (returning users) or 'customize' (new users).

Set Start.me as your new tab page

To have Start.me loaded whenever you open a new tab page; you will have to install our Chrome extension as the Kinza browser currently does not offer a way to specify a new tab page manually.

The extension is available in the Chrome Web Store, and will also work in the Kinza Browser. Installing is a one-click operation and is completely safe.

Now, it's time to import the bookmarks you'd like to transfer from other browsers. You'll only have to do this once. When you've stored them on your Start.me page, you can access them from any browser.

  1. Make sure you've exported your bookmarks in HTML format.

  2. Click the Add content button.

  3. In the Add content pane, scroll down and locate the button 'Import bookmarks.'

  4. Click the Import bookmarks button, and browse to the HTML file with your bookmarks.

  5. Click Import.

  6. Once the importing has finished, you will see a prompt 'Your import has been completed.'
