Instantly search the Internet
The first and most important step to is to go into your browser settings and add https://besthomepageever.com as your homepage.
You can typically search for homepage (or startpage) in your settings to find the setting.
If you do not have a home button on your browser, go into your browser settings, search for homepage and add this to your browser.
This makes it super convenient to access your homepage while browsing the Internet.
This free extension allows you to view your Best Homepage Ever whenever you open up a new tab in your browser. Since you customize the homepage with any of your own websites, you have instant access to your favorites sites when opening up a new tab.
Download the free homepage browser extension
If you haven't done so already, create an account so that your custom sites, backgrounds, profile, and all your other settings are saved.
Also, this allows the homepage to be accessed among all of your devices and browsers.
Although not required, you'll enjoy many additional features by creating a homepage account.
Creating an account is 100% free.
No problem! Go to Best Homepage Ever's login page (or click Login button at upper right part of homepage), and click Forgot Password. From there, you can just enter your email, and follow the prompts.
If you share the homepage on a desktop computer with others in your family (which I do), I recommend using multiple web browsers or browser logins.
Each browser will remember your unique ID, which will in turn remember your own personal websites, settings, and background.
For Google Chrome, for example, you can choose to have a separate login for your browser (pictured here).
Depending on some browser settings, you may be logging out of websites automatically each time you close your browser. This is a somewhat common browser setting. So, be sure to check your browser settings (typically this is found in the privacy settings).
If this is not the case, it's possible you have a corrupt cookie. To solve this problem, clear your cookies. This will log you out of every site though, but once you login again, it should stay logged in.

Simply hover of the icon of the website you wish to remove from launchbar, then click the red minus icon at the upper right.

Yes. Right-click any of your websites to pull up the website menu. Select [ Rearrange Sites ].
You can then drag and re-position your websites. Tap the green save button.
There is also a rearrange button () on the taskbar.
If you cannot login, then the server needs restarted. I am unsure of why this issue has persisted, but please just email me and I'll restart it.
Option 1. If some of your icons appear odd, try to delete them, then re-add them.
Option 2. Still not fixed? Try signing out, doing a hard refresh of your browser's cache (CTRL + F5). Then signing back in.
Option 3. (persistent issue) If you still experience oddities, take note of your sites, and go to your account menu. Delete your account. Then, create a new account and add your websites back.
Best Homepage Ever is cross-browser and cross-device compatible.
As long as you are signed in on each browser under the same account, your settings and sites will be synced. If you made an update very recently, you can tap F2 to update to the most recent settings on any other browser.
Alternatively, click your profile and click the 'Sync' button (pictured below)
If you have a sticky note overlapping the clock, it's probably because the resolution of your device is a bit lower than usual.
My best recommendation is to hide either the clock or the notes, which can be done in your Homepage Settings.
