Every site, one key away. Keyboard Start Page turns Chrome's new tab page into a keyboard. Give each key a website, then press the key to open it.

- One key per site. Open a new tab and press G for Google, Y for YouTube, or any site you choose.
- Easy to set up. Click an empty key and type an address, or drag a link from a page, the address bar or the bookmarks bar onto a key.
- Open from any page. Turn on the website shortcut in settings, then hold your shortcut (Alt by default) and tap a key. It works on any website, without opening a new tab first.
- Toolbar popup. Click the extension icon to see your keyboard over any page. Press an empty key to save the page you're on.
- Make it yours. Use your own wallpaper at full quality, pick a background color, and choose a light, dark or system theme. Give keys short names if you like.
- Edit many links at once. The settings page lets you change, add and remove links in one go.
- Backup. Export your links and settings to a file and import them on another computer. Links also sync through your Chrome account.
- Chrome puts the cursor in the address bar on every new tab. Press Tab or click the page before pressing a key, or turn on Focus the page on new tabs in settings.
- A key opens its link in the same tab, and Shift + key opens it in a background tab. You can change this in settings.
- Keys are normal links, so Ctrl/⌘ + click, middle click and right-click work as usual.
- The website shortcut doesn't work on Chrome's own pages or the Chrome Web Store, because Chrome blocks extensions there.
- Open settings with the gear in the bottom right corner of the new tab page. A short Help section at the top covers the basics.
Your links and settings stay in your browser and your Chrome account. Nothing is collected or sent anywhere. Site icons come from Google's favicon service. Read the full privacy policy.
