I moved over from Opera to Brave and was offered "Protopage Start Page". I did not know this was available; not sure it IS available in Opera. Very nice. I like that I can "add bookmarks" and "add all open tabs..." as I start my WEB sessions with the same open tabs which I inadvertently close every once in a while.

I've used this for years. Dependable start page to link favorites to.

Everything works as expected. Organizes everything from within Google. Just made it part of my startup tabs. I have no issues. I really like it so far. Security? I won't store passwords there because I have no clue where this data is being stored and who has access to it, but I guess you could say that about any organizer. Best I've tried so far. Mike
