What Is Your Home Or Start Page?

I've had Yahoo! as my start page for many years. I'm wondering if there's a better start page out there. I remember using Excite several years ago, but their home page now looks outdated. Do you design your own start pages? If so, what's on it?

I personally use "about:blank" it loads instantly, and does not require an internet connection of any sort, going to be my homepage for a L-O-N-G time.., though I had Google as my homepage for about a month several months back...

I use igoogle - its quite good and loads fairly quickly.

It also allows portability and is the same wherever you logon.

It also allows you to import your google toolbar bookmarks as well as a swag of different gadgets such as world weather - world times - news etc - or you can just set it to go to google classic which has nothing special and loads instantly.

I make use of their "To Do" list because I can access it at work and at home. Makes it easy for those little things you want to remember later.

Depends. On my testing server - localhost (easy for testing

)

On this machine - netvibes.com. Excellent, though slightly bug-free. It's got me addicted to RSS, and there's plenty of other tools too. I kinda wish thye stuck to classic though, it's getting more and more bloated as time goes on, which I don't like.

I use www.google.co.uk/firefox, because it's great because it's google. But I used to use this site for a while, but google is my homepage again.

Well, I've got google firefox it is default in firefox and somehow I like it that is I like to see when it appears also it appears almost instantly at any connections. Even over mobile phone uplink. On the other hand I use it also for ssearch as google is my search engine of choice I somehow best navigate around it. So you see I am quite linked to google when it comes to online

I have two home pages. At home, I use Google Klingon Advanced Search (or, more appropriately, Google tlhIngan Hol nejwI' 'Itlh) At work, I use Blackle, the energy-efficient Google search.

There was a brief period, though, when my home page was youfail.org. Well, that was until I grew tired the TSO's Wizards in Winter theme

You mean to say you can actually read that Klingon? I always kinda assumed that was just something people talked about but didn't really do.

I've got my own designed web page. Here's a link to a simmilar and more general http://www.saitunes.trap17.com/usefullinks.html (less for what I specifically go on) I have more me-specific stuff, like a link to my college's homepage, and online submission thing.

I designed it in smultron (Mac only) and just found a template i liked and used that.

I use 3 different browsers: IE, Firefox and Safari. On IE "MSN.com" is the default home page, on Firefox "Firefox Google" is the default home page and on Apple Safari "Apple.com" is the default home page. I really don't worry about it, because when i use the internet i navigate away from them immediately, usually because there's something i specifically want to do. If i bother you, because you have a slow internet connect, i advise using "about:blank" or "Google". Sometimes, my default home page is my personal website, but i guess it depends on the person with the computer.

It depends.

I use Internet Explorer 8, plus Firefox.

They both are on the Google.

Firefox is loaded on that Mozilla Google page.

Tbh I don't think I'll ever change my homepage.

MSN homepage is rubbish, Yahoo! I don't know about that, and the other search engines I don't use.

I only use Google, witch is best for me, and my searching.

I might use a different search engines soon, or just make my GTA website as my homepage.

TheGTASector. I need more members on it though, but I wont advertise it on here, unless in the correct section.

Bah, Is there any other Good browsers I could try?
