By choosing Google+ in settings, you can now get personalized and suggestive search results, in addition to adding websites directly to the homepage from the results page!
This is also a great option for those who are sometimes overwhelmed by the standard Google search results, which tend to have music videos, youtube results, and a bunch of categories listed.

Right-click a website to quickly edit the site name, URL, or color (color edits available for custom sites).

The site will now remember your most recent settings and websites across all of your browsers, computers, and devices.
I'm calling it SYNC, and it is LIVE.
It took quite a bit of work to get this feature up-and-running, so thanks for your patience.

New Edge browser extension live.
Instantly access your homepage whenever you open up a new tab. This saves from having to close your browser, then re-open it whenver you want to visit sites on the homepage.
Since Microsoft doesn't like you changing your tab page from their own, you will receive this notice.
To easily fix this, you just need to turn on the extension in your settings.
1. Click settings () in upper-right part of browser.
2. Click extensions, then hit toggle button to activate.
That's it! You can now launch BestHomepageEver as your new tab page rather than the Microsoft default.

For those of you looking to add the New Tab extension to your browser, please check back soon, as I am having to update the privacy settings before it can be downloaded. I will update you all shortly as soon as it's approved by Google.
If you already use the extension, nothing is required.
Additionally, I am having an extension being made for all Edge browsers, which will be available within 48 hours.
Many of you have been receiving 502 errors (looks like an "OOPS.." screen). I have hired somebody to help me fix this, so within a week or so, you shouldn't see those again. Thank you for your patience, as this has to do with the server.
If you love the news, but hate advertisements, then try out the all new Live News page.
This page automatically updates by the minute, and pulls news from all around the world, from over 150 news organizations.
More sports news will be added next..
Lots of updates over the last 2 weeks.
4X the resources, option to upgrade further
The new settings panel will continually be improving over the next few weeks.
Now you can add 12 of your own websites, which are all sortable in your MyLinks settings.
Made it easier to provide feedback or report a bug.
Thank you for your continued support. Look for more updates coming soon.
Feedback form added for BHE useres. If you would like to leave me feedback (fix a link, add a link, etc), then you can access it from your account dropdown menu. I'll do my best to implement any request within 48 hours. If you request a link, and it is not added, I appreciate your request, but it will need to be added to your MyLinks instead since I've decided not to add it to the main page.
Everything is in working order on our new server!! The homepage has essentially quadrupled its resources, so it should be faster all around, including initial load times.
Thanks for your patience the last couple of days.. And special thanks to Kevin for helping with the migration.
Enjoy.
After recent changes, many of you have noticed the slower load times (myself included).
To fix this, I will be upgrading the server tonight to a much faster one, with a completely new provider. Within 24-36 hours, all delays should be gone and the page speed should be quicker than before. Thanks for your patience.
To update/fix any background issues, make sure your cache is cleared out.
Once this is done, you should reload your browser, and click on the settings panel. Once there, you will see the following color selection, allowing you to select and save from any 1 of over 16 million combinations.
NOTE: You must be logged in to access this settings panel.
Speed and performance is now being enhanced, and will be live within a couple of days. Thanks for your patience.
If you are experiencing delays or background changes, don't worry. I'm fixing all this now. Full background functionality will be live by Wednesday, April 22.
To improve site speed for the next 2 days or so, it's best to log out.
Thanks for your patience.
Over the next 2 weeks, I will continue to add useful sites for you, as many categories can be expanded. The Useful Tools section has been enahanced, as well as more sites in all the main categories.
By clicking the +MORE button, you can expand the Finance category to view more tools and site options than ever!
Look for more category expansion in the near future.
2 Quick Updates:
1. Added ETF listings and an ETF screener to Finance category, courtesy of ETFDB.com.
2. Added 2 popular sites right now, during this Corona Virus quarantine: Zoom Video and TikTok. Those can both be found under Popular category.
For those who don't know what these websites are, check them out, as this is a great time and method to connect or share with others.
Enjoy!
In my extra time, I've listed my checklist of 7 things to do during Corona Virus quarantine. This is simply a fun article, and suggestive in nature. If you have extra time during this crisis, have a read.
This article and more, will appear in the Articles section of this and other backpages to Best Homepage Ever.
UPDATE: Improved background selection is on its way. I've been working with a developer this week, and anticipate these new features to be available sometime next week.
The links and their respective categories were due for a facelift, so the categories now have their own "cards." In the near future, you will be able to choose your own card colors, so be on the lookout for that update soon.
The links and websites are identical in all other ways - they are all in the same spot.
As a group, we all will have more functionality with these new categories (more customization features, colors, and the ability to click on categories to lead to other pages), so enjoy the update!
I have added instructions for those of you wishing to update the homepage settings on the new Edge browser just launched.
You can find these instructions by clicking Make this my Homepage button at the top left of homepage.
Here is a link to the new Edge browser.
One benefit I've noticed is you can install Chrome extensions, including my FREE tool to automatically load homepage when you open a new tab, so give that a try. Otherwise, Microsoft will send you to Bing and MSN as their default tab page.
