What a useful start page contains
The page should match the next action. Search may be enough for occasional browsing. Recurring work benefits from visible groups of dashboards, documents, repositories, research, and communication tools.
TabRover as a new-tab start page
TabRover replaces Chrome's new tab with a visual workspace. It opens without a separate dashboard step and keeps a local browser copy, so saved links remain available during a temporary offline or server interruption.
