Bookmarklet: Install on desktop device

Updated over 2 months ago

The bookmarklet is our Quick Save option. It looks like a bookmark in your browser. When you click it, it runs a little JavaScript program that opens our Bookmarks adder. This way, you can add bookmarks to all your favorite pages and continue surfing the web. It works in every browser.

It's free for all users.

Step 1: Show Bookmarks bar

You can use the bookmarklet from any bookmark location, but we recommend the Bookmarks Bar.

For Google Chrome or Chromium browsers (including Microsoft Edge):

  • Press Ctrl-Shift-B.

  • Or click the options icon on your top right and go to the option 'Bookmarks.'

For Firefox, Internet Explorer and Pale Moon users, there is no shortcut available. You can still right-click in the address bar to toggle the bookmarks bar.

  • Toggle the Favorites Bar under View > Show Favourites Bar

  • or by pressing β‡§βŒ˜B

Manually copy the code below.

javascript:(function(){var a=window,b=document,c=encodeURIComponent,d=a.open('https://start.me/add_bookmark?url='+c(b.location)+'&title='+c(b.title),'startme_popup','left='+((a.screenX||a.screenLeft)+400)+',top='+((a.screenY||a.screenTop)+100)+',height=500px,width=500px,resizable=1,alwaysRaised=1');a.setTimeout(function(){if(d)d.focus()},300)})();

Locate a bookmark in the Bookmark bar you don't want to use anymore. Right-click it, and select Edit.

Change the Name to: Add to Start.me.

Paste the JavaScript Code into the URL field of the bookmark.

Now you can start bookmarking sites for your Start.me page at the click of a single button.

Tip

If the new bookmarklet doesn't work, make sure your browser has the following settings:

  • Allow pop-ups windows.

  • Accept third-party cookies.

  • Enable JavaScript.
