How to Use AllMyFaves to Discover Websites
Updated
AllMyFaves is a visual homepage that organizes websites as logo-based bookmarks, grouped by category, with a "top 10" list for each category. You use it by opening the site, browsing or picking a category, and clicking a logo to visit that site. It requires JavaScript enabled in your browser — without it, the page will not load properly.
What AllMyFaves actually is
It is not a search engine and not a directory you query with keywords. Its model is visual and curated: sites appear as logos rather than text links, arranged so you can recognize a destination by its brand mark instead of reading a description. Each category also surfaces a top 10 of sites in that category, so the browsing experience is closer to flipping through a labeled wall of bookmarks than running searches.
Step-by-step: browsing and discovering sites
- Open allmyfaves.com in a browser with JavaScript enabled. If JavaScript is off, you will see a message stating the site doesn't work properly without it, and no content will render. This is the single most common reason the page appears broken.
- Scan the logo grid on the homepage. Logos act as the navigation — each one represents a site.
- Choose a category to narrow what you see. Categories are the organizing layer, so picking one is how you move from a general wall of logos to a relevant set.
- Open the top 10 for that category if you want a shortlist rather than the full grid. This is the curated view: the ten sites the site presents as best in that category.
- Click a logo to go to that website. The logo is the link; clicking it takes you to the destination site, not to a detail page on AllMyFaves.
Expected result: you land on the destination site you clicked, and you can return to AllMyFaves to continue browsing other logos or categories.
What you can and cannot do here
| You can | You cannot (based on available information) |
|---|---|
| Browse sites by category | Search by keyword — no search function is described |
| See a top 10 list per category | Read long reviews or descriptions — the format is logo-based |
| Click a logo to visit a site | Rely on the site with JavaScript disabled |
| Use it as a visual start page | Assume any listed site is free or requires no login — that depends on the destination site |
Common snags
- Blank or broken page: almost always JavaScript. Enable it for the site and reload.
- Looking for a specific site by name: this is a browsing tool, not a lookup tool. If you already know the site you want, going there directly is faster.
- Expecting editorial depth: the value is recognition and curation (logos plus top 10s), not explanation.
When this approach fits
Use AllMyFaves when you want to stumble onto useful sites in a category you care about and you respond well to visual, logo-first browsing. Skip it when you have a specific destination in mind, need keyword search, or cannot enable JavaScript.
