The Bookmarks widget is a crucial building block of your Start.me page. This widget is where you keep all your bookmarks. You can put as many Bookmark widgets on your page as you want to. The same goes for the number of bookmarks within them.
You can organize widgets, drag them around and personalize them — everything you need to navigate the internet efficiently.
