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

  1. 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.
  2. Scan the logo grid on the homepage. Logos act as the navigation — each one represents a site.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
