How do I set Start.me as my default start page?
Updated over 7 months ago

If you have more than one start page, you should decide the start page you want loaded by default.

For example, if you have one Start.me page for work and one for home, you can switch them whenever you finish your shift.

Quick solution

When you set Start.me as your default start page, we will automatically display the first personal page in your list of pages. If you want to display the second page, drag it to the first position.

For Chrome, use the extension

Instructions

  1. Make sure you install the start.me extension. You will see the Start.me logo appear in your browser.

  2. Once you've located the Start.me logo, click it to open a dialog and click the cog to open the options.

  3. Now you'll see a pop-up. Select your new tab page from the dropdown menu, and select the page you prefer.

This extension works in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers, like our partners: the Iron browser, Kinza, Torch, Vivaldi, and the Craving Explorer.

For Firefox, use a workaround

If you want to use Start.me in Firefox, you'll need a workaround.

For other browsers

If you want to quickly change the default homepage in other browsers like Safari or Internet Explorer, we can't help you with a dedicated extension or add-on. You can use the Quick solution mentioned above.

Warning

We don't recommend using the On startup or Homepage settings of these browsers to change your default Start.me page, as it may result in an error message.
