Five Best Start Pages

Your start page is the first thing you see when you open your browser or load a new tab—your gateway to the rest of the web. Get the most from your start page with one of these five favorites.

Whether the start page you're using is your browser's default or you've carefully selected it, checking out these five contenders for best start page will give you a chance to decide if your current start page serves your needs or if it could use an upgrade.

First, a note on our methodology. Several popular entries in this week's Hive Five are essentially clones of each other (just for different browsers), so we opted to combine the most popular just-like-the-other options into single entries in order to give you a more diverse Hive Five. You'll notice, for example, the entry on Speed Dial-like start pages includes the Chrome start page, Opera Speed Dial, and Speed Dial for Firefox all in one entry instead of spreading them out so we could squeeze more options into the final result.
I had never actually heard of myfav.es before. Take a look at it, quite a nice alternative.
