I personally aim for a startpage that loads instantly and since browsers no longer let you use a local html file as one, I've made an extension that registers a custom new tab page.
I don't use any frameworks since it's a pretty simple page, essentially just groups of links. If you need to, you can always use something like fetch to load external resources.

- Ma8ee 5y agoI'm using a local html file as a start page in Safari right now, and used the same file on Windows (Firefox) just a few months ago.
- Farow 5y agoI believe Firefox and Chrome do not allow you to set a local html file as a new tab page. You can set it as a home page but then you need to manually navigate to it after creating a new tab.
