• Need Browse start page / extension manager suggestions.

  I really like how start.me works as it is URL based I can easily make it the default new tab and home page. Source: almost 2 years ago

• App for bookmark managing on Chrome?

  I love start.me (https://about.start.me/) . Source: almost 2 years ago

• Privacy respecting external bookmark managers?

  Is it start.me? If that is the case, I am concerned about their ads. When I go to my bookmarked URL, I notice that Instead of opening the bookmakred URL(e.x reddit.com ), my ADguard DNS server blocks this malicious site: redirect.start.me/xxxidealo.dexx . I know that you can block all these with Ublock but without it, oh no. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you build your personal start page?

  My subscription to http://start.me has been worth every penny I pay for it. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Could we have more than 12 tiles for favorite sites on the new tab?

  I'm using start.me. You can have more bookmarks and you can organize them in different groups. You can also sign in in different devices and use the same layout. Source: over 2 years ago

• Why is mainstream media coverage of France so limited?

  It's everywhere I get the news. If you want a deep dive, just go to France24.com or LeMonde.fr/en or even bbc.com/news. Source: about 1 year ago

• Biden calls 'emergency' meeting after missile hits Poland

  Aight so the general idea here is it's not absolutely certain that Russia shot it and they're definitely denying it. Poland's trying to keep calm to avoid having to invoke article 4 and are leaning on the side of "accident" at the moment. This is almost certainly going to be fine, but if you want to stay up to date on it go to the BBC for decently unbiased reporting. Source: over 1 year ago

• Trader blames Brexit for soaring price of fish – but BBC edits it out

  It's similar to the memory hole effect with online news sites. If you initially release an article with inaccurate or misrepresented headline and contents, then change it later on without any record of the change (something the BBC has repeatedly done on bbc.com/news) you get a difference in perception of a news event based on when someone saw/read the coverage.

• Boris Johnson calls for calm after a fiery fourth night of violence in Northern Ireland

  True. I visit news.sky.com and bbc.com/news front page daily and I only found about it yesterday. Source: about 3 years ago
