How to use the start page

The start page has three features: Shortcuts, Bookmarks, and History. These provide quick access to your favorite content.

What is Shortcuts?

Shortcuts displays your most visited sites or installed extensions as thumbnail tiles. These thumbnails link to the page. You can organize your favorite sites and quickly navigate to them.

To view Shortcuts, click the Shortcuts button at the bottom of the start page.

Add entries to Shortcuts

To add an entry:

  1. Click the empty entry marked with a +.
  2. Select from the list of suggested pages, or type a web address (for example www.avast.com/).
  3. Press Enter.

To open an entry, click the entry's thumbnail.

SafeZone browser bookmarks

Bookmarks are links to pages on the web that you want to save or read later.

Click the Bookmarks button at the bottom of the start page to view your bookmarks.

Organize your bookmarks into folders, customize their appearance, or search for a specific site that you saved.

What is the browsing history page?

The history page shows the web sites that you visited with SafeZone. Sites deleted from the browser history are not visible.

To view your browsing history, click the History button at the bottom of the start page.

Your history is organized chronologically on the sidebar. Click a time period to view history items from the current day, the previous day, the previous week, the previous month, or all recorded history items.

You can delete single entries from your history. Hover over an entry and click the X that appears on its right side.

To clear more than one entry at a time, or to delete other types of browsing data, click Clear Browsing Data…
