SiteLauncher Startup Edition Extension

SiteLauncher is a Chrome \"speed dial\" extension that gives you a super-fast, beautiful and organized way to access your top-favorite sites. Speed dial to your favorite sites without the need to load a new tab first.

***
This is a special Startup edition of SiteLauncher that features carefully chosen links to tools and resources for Startups.
***

Just click the red triangle — or press the keyboard hotkey, Ctrl+M by default — for single tap access to your predefined list of top favorite websites.

You can open sites from the \"Launcher\" speed-dial panel by custom single key shortcuts, arrow keys & [enter] navigation or by mouse/touch click. Whichever way works best for you.

Keyboard Examples: open Facebook by pressing Ctrl + M + F or open Google by Ctrl + M + G. The default hotkey can also be changed from Ctrl + M to something else (pro-tip: many prefer to set it to Ctrl + Space). And of course you can setup similar shortcuts to any URLs/sites you wish, as well as delete and edit the built-in defaults.

SiteLauncher is free to use and doesn't contain any spyware (and we promise to never add any).

Feature Highlights:

* The Launcher gives you a quick and beautiful way access to your favorite sites

* Pick a theme that suits your style. Includes four free beautiful themes with additional premium themes available.

* The Shortcut Manager makes it easy to add, edit and remove shortcuts. Each shortcut can point to any URL/site you wish.

* Option to set a custom keyboard letter to each site gives you super-fast keyboard tap navigation from the Launcher

* Cloud ready. Shortcuts are stored as special bookmarks and are therefore automatically kept in sync across multiple computers if you use a Google Chrome account.

* Group related shortcuts together for quick visual scanning of the Launcher.

* Security and privacy—the SiteLauncher extension does not monitor, collect or transit any personal data about you, ever. And we intend to keep it that way.
