I finally got it working. Most underrated free app EVER! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
1. Settings > Safari > Open New Tabs > with “Homepage”
2. Then tap the app icon for Homepage and set your url for the page.
3. In Safari tap the little icon in the address bar > Manage Extensions > ✅ Homepage On.
This app lets you set up your own start-page like bonjourr.fr and have it in every new tab. For power users who have their whole toolkit of search-bars and customized icons for favorite links, with splash wallpapers… this app is a liberation! Special thanks to the developer for making it free. Hopefully this little app becomes famous like it deserves.
