Firefox pinned pages just show the favicon so you can have a ton of them in one window. And they're not pinned in other windows so you can have one just for the pinned ones.
I used to hand craft an HTML page full of links that I used daily. Something that looked like a prettier Craigslist, and was static, fully enclosed CSS, inline with the HTML.
Then, I realized that I wanted to store more information than just links. But I didn't want to deal with all the JS crap or content management systems. I knew about mdBook from my dabbling in Rust, and decided to try it out.
Now I have a nice "book" instead of a home page, and it's multi-page, static, fast, portable, and easy to use.
The only drawback is that I can't use it on an iPad or iPhone, so if someone has suggestions on that, I'd love to hear them.
I don't anymore. I just keep my favourite pages pinned in a window that's always open in one of my virtual desktops so I can easily jump to them. It's easier and more readily available.

I used speeddials for some years, then some other obscure addons and local html files. A few years ago, via G-Hacks, I found Humble New Tab Page[0], and it's been love at first sight.

As a plus, it was a good excuse to bookmark frequent pages and put them inside folders. [0] https://addons.…

I used to have a flat static html file where I pulled in various RSS feeds using Google's old RSS Javascript API. Yahoo also had a neat library called pipes that allowed you to do something similar. TBH i would avoid self hosting, as in my experience whatever middle point you will leverage for your feeds will end up being deprecated/sun-setted or whatever
Oh please please may I shamelessly link to the Vlad.studio new tab extension [0] - I built it to solve this exact problem for myself, but also as another way for my wallpapers to be seen. This is how my new tab page looks now: [1] [0] https://new-tab.vlad.studio/ [1] https://i.postimg.cc/y8R3x0Yt/my-new-tab.jpg
Looks pretty, and good job. Due to my background I prefer to be confronted with a color coded wall of text and charts ordered by importance and designed like 2000s Japanese websites.
