A Fine Start - minimal new tab page Extension

A Fine Start replaces Chrome's new tab page with a handy list of links, grouped and sorted how you like. Use it for free in your current browser, or get a Premium account and sync your bookmarks on all your browsers.

Includes a minimal, typographic design that stays out of your way and gets you where you want to go—quickly.

Features

- Minimal text links
- Groups
- Drag-and-drop sorting
- Group folding
- Dark mode
- Restore points
- Optional syncing account

Privacy Friendly

I care deeply about your privacy. A Fine Start operates with minimal personal information. By default, A Fine Start save your bookmarks directly in your browser.

If you choose to purchase a Premium subscription, A Fine Start collects your email and saves both your email and bookmarks on its servers for the sole purpose of providing you syncing across all your browsers and devices.

The permissions the browser extension asks for are needed solely to facilitate authentication for Premium users. They aren't used for any other purpose.

What little information A Fine Start collects will never be given or sold to a third party.

Anony Mouse (ID: 000000b542285da5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/15/2021 It is well made and not encumbered with too many features. The developer also has a solid policy on privacy, something that I worried about.

Clayton Thigpen (ID: 0000009ba97b93d7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/29/2018 Immediately a favorite extension. I've tried other bookmark managers and start pages - they're all either too pretty to do anything useful, or too "efficient" to easily navigate. This one has the best of both worlds. The layout is pleasing and straightforward, and the functionality is solid and reliable. Does everything I need a start page to do.
