Homepage is a browser extension that replaces your new tab with your own dashboards of website shortcuts. Its developer does not collect, receive, sell, or share any of your data. Homepage has no developer accounts, analytics, ads, or servers.
What Homepage stores, and where
- On your device. Your dashboards, sections, shortcuts, folders, notes, and settings are stored in your browser's storage for the extension.
- In your browser account, when sync is on. When your browser's sync is on (for example, Chrome with "Extensions" turned on in sync, or Firefox Sync with "Add-ons"), Homepage keeps a compressed copy of that data in your browser account's extension storage. That's how your other computers get your dashboards. The storage is run by your browser's maker under their privacy policy. Homepage's developer can't see it.
- Images you upload stay on that device. Your own icons and wallpapers are never synced.
When Homepage connects to the internet
- Opening a shortcut or searching: your browser goes to that website, or to the search engine you chose in Settings.
-
Website icons:
- In Chrome and other Chromium browsers, Homepage can use icons saved by the browser without making a request to the site.
-
It may also request
/favicon.icofrom the site or its parent domain. For example, an icon formail.example.commay be loaded fromexample.com. - If you ask it to look for a sharper icon, Homepage requests access to that site unless you have already granted it. It reads the site's page and any linked web app manifest to find icons. Those icons may be hosted on other domains, which receive requests when the icons load.
- Background images from a URL: if you enter an image address, Homepage loads the image from the server at that address.
- Included assets: the built-in brand logos, background photos, and fonts are part of the extension. Homepage loads no code from the internet.
Optional permissions
Homepage asks for these only when you use the feature that needs them. You can turn them off in your browser's extension settings at any time.
| History | Suggesting websites while you type an address. Homepage reads this history only on your device. |
|---|---|
| Bookmarks | Copying the bookmarks you pick into Homepage. Your bookmarks are never changed. |
| Tabs | "Save open tabs as a section": reading the titles and addresses of the tabs in your window. |
| Website access | Finding a sharper icon for the one site you choose. |
Deleting your data
- On this device: removing the extension deletes what it stored here.
- The synced copy: use your browser's option to delete synced data.
- A copy for yourself: before removing the extension, use Settings → General → Export backup.
