about:blank works for me.

Same. Opening a new tab with Ctrl + t allows you to type instantly into the search bar

Combine that with never clearing your browser history and you basically have a shortcut to any link you ever visited

it isn’t intended to replace that it’s just an aggregated content webpage with relevant media instead of nothing ^^

feel that - it’s not for everyone or every install of ff, I use it on my non dev firefox

Sick of excessively curated/sponsored content and newsfeeds? News/media/tech junkie? Have I got the solution for you

...created a home or start page that aggregates all the best articles, news, toots, podcasts, videos, games and more content online into a single launcher style single page application...

Am I missing something or is this an oxymoron?

Anyway, thank you op for doing something for the community. I greatly appreciate it :)

I suppose so technicalllllly - but no secret algo’s here to skew anything - I intend to release individual follow/unfollow by publisher/tags (it’s like 20% built so far)

Is this open source?

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

not currently; perhaps in the future - or a version of it
