Customize your Browser Start Page with Windows Eight Start Page.

Today’s post is going to be something slightly different that I think is rather cool. When you start your browser you either load your favorite website or a popular search engine. Today’s featured product is called ‘eight‘. Its a customizable start page featuring some of the worlds most popular websites. Although it takes its styling from Windows 8.

Not only EIGHT looks awesome, it is customizable too. You can replace the shortcuts with your own favorite sites, you can change the default search engine, you can customize the background color and you can even use a wallpaper as background. EIGHT is compatible with all browsers.

First you need to download ZIP file (click here to download ) and extract it somewhere on your hard drive.

Navigate to the folder (usually named "EIGHT-firefox start page+config") and open the “index.htm” with your preferred web browser. Close all other opened tabs before you continue.

Using Eight: 

Mozilla Firefox Users : Click on the Tools in Firefox menu and choose "Options". Under the "General" tab select “Show my home page” from “When Firefox starts“ and click the "Use Current Pages" button. Press [enter].

Google Chrome Users : Copy the URL from the address bar. Click on the "wrench" button and select "Options". Choose "Open the following pages:" under "On startup" and in the "New tab" field paste the URL you copied earlier. Also, select "Open this page" from "Home page" and paste the same URL in its field. Close the tab and reload.

Other Browser Users : Follow similar steps as mentioned above.

ENJOY.........!!!!!
