Features & Capabilities

A Fine Start is a Chrome extension that transforms Firefox’s new tab page into a simple, minimalist list of your favorite links. It allows you to group and sort bookmarks according to your preferences, providing a streamlined browsing experience that helps you access sites quickly.

Beyond its tidy typographic design, A Fine Start prioritizes user privacy. By default, your bookmarks are saved directly in your browser without sharing personal data. For enhanced functionality, a Premium subscription enables bookmark syncing across browsers and devices, with minimal and secure data collection limited to email and bookmarks solely for sync purposes. All permissions requested support these features without compromising your privacy.

This extension is perfect for users seeking a distraction-free, organized start page with a strong privacy commitment and optional cross-device syncing.

Excellent and very useful extension! It just lacks favicons in the lists a bit.
