Protopage for Webware

User Reviews

• After 1 month you get an ad banner on your page

  Pros

  I created my own personalised start page consisting of five tabbed pages of nothing but bookmarks widgets, which I could name, colour and arrange as I wished. The pages and the bookmarks opened fast.

  Cons

  Without any warning they put an ad banner across the top of my page after I had been using Protopage for a month. You could click on a cross to hide the ad but it was there again every time you opened the page. They wanted $2.49 a month for it to be removed completely.

  Summary

  It's a shame because I was very happy with Protopage and I had no prior knowledge that this would happen. I switched straight away to Marklet.com which is similar but rather colourless and all on one page.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Nov 15, 2012<p/>I've returned to using Protopage startpage. I've not found another site quite like it. You can create different tabbed pages on which you can group your stuff, it's easier to see a little on each page rather than having everything on one solitary long page that you have to scroll down. There's a choice of colours to select for tabs &#38; categories, &#38; the page background. The toolbar buttons can be hidden, so more of your pages show. I can order my links just as I want, &#38; not by alphabet or most used. I was able to opt for my links to open in a new tab on my browser, which is preferable to having to right-click on them every time &#38; select 'Open in new tab'. The contents of categories can be collapsed (hidden), not that I've wanted to do that yet. As for the ad banner, I can put up with that. Once you've clicked on the cross it remains hidden as long as you keep your Protopage open. The only thing I am beginning to wonder is if the ads are targeted, but maybe that's just me being neurotic.
