How do I set a default start page?

If you have more than one start page, you may want to 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.

Instructions:

1. Quick solution
2. Chrome extension
3. Firefox Add-On
4. Edge extension
5. Other browsers

1. Quick solution [back to top]

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, just drag it in the first position.

2. Chrome extension  [back to top]

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.
3. Click Options.
4. Now you'll see a pop-up. From the dropdown menu Select your new tab page, select the page you prefer. 

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

3. Firefox Add-On workaround [back to top]

Firefox no longer allows our users to use our Add-On to set the New Tab page to start.me.

Here's the workaround: 

• Install the add-on New Tab Override. Note: this is add-on is not developed by start.me.
• Set https://start.me as your New Tab page.
  
• Grant the extension the rights to set the Net Tab page to start.me.
  
• Now your new tab page is set to start.me.

This extension works in Firefox, as well as in Firefox-based browsers, unless they don't allow the installation of Firefox Add-Ons. Our partner browser Pale moon does not permit this.

4. Edge extension [back to top]

Instructions

• Make sure you install the start.me extension. You will see the start.me logo appear in your browser. 
• Once you've located the start.me logo, right-click it to open a dialog.
• Click Extension Options.

• Now you'll see a pop-up. From the dropdown menu Which page do you want to use as your homepage?, select the page you prefer. 

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

5. Other browsers [back to top]

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.

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.
