Make picktheclick your homepage in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge

The short answerSet https://picktheclick.com as your homepage or startup page in your browser’s settings: Chrome and Edge call it “On startup” and the home button; Safari and Firefox have a Homepage field. On a phone, add it to your home screen. Menu names change between browser versions, so if yours differs, search the settings for “home” or “startup”.

  2. Choose Add a new page and enter https://picktheclick.com.
  3. For the home button: Settings → Appearance → Show home button, then enter the same address.

iPhone, iPad and Android

Phones don’t have a homepage setting worth the name, so put picktheclick on your home screen instead. Safari: open picktheclick.com, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Chrome on Android: open the ⋮ menu and choose Add to Home screen. It opens with its own icon, like an app.

Questions

Can picktheclick be my new tab page?

Safari on Mac can open new tabs on your homepage. Chrome, Firefox and Edge need an extension to open a web address in new tabs; their startup page and home button work without one.

Do I lose my tiles if I set it as my homepage?

No. Your tiles are saved in the browser, whichever way you open the page.

Is it the same start page on every device?

Each browser keeps its own tiles. Export a backup and import it to copy them across.
