• 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: about 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

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

• really struggling with picking up touch typing and feeling horrible about it.

  Do you remember all the letters on the keyboard? If not, do more learning on websites like typing.com. If yes, practice on sites like typeracer. Make sure you're getting 97% accuracy. Source: 7 months ago

• The Y and B keys - are my bad habits worth correcting?

  So recently I've been trying to learn touch typing on typing.com using the home row rules.

Apparently the correct way to do it is always use the right index for Y and the left index for B. Source: 11 months ago

• Will my typing speed improve?

  Did you learn proper typing technique (or something very close to it) by going to typing.com or typingclub.com or some similar website and working through all the various lessons and exercises until you could type without looking at the keyboard? Source: 12 months ago

• How do I switch from qwerty to dvorak fast?

  If you can type the pangram the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog without looking at your keyboard, then you know where all 26 letters of the alphabet are on the Dvorak layout. That means that you no longer have any need for the beginner websites such as typing.com or typingclub.com or ratatype.com and can instead move onto the second of the two phases of learning to type. The second phase is one that... Source: about 1 year ago
