What is your start page?

[timmac]

Just curious as to what everyone uses as their start page on their browser of choice. I use Google, but that seems a little superfluous when both Safari and Camino (the other browser I use) have google search built in.

I also have the Google Homepage. When I'm out and about it's a quick page to download and test whether I've got a connection and it's speed before moving to something more intensive.

I use the default Firefox Google start page. Maybe it should be something different, since I never use it, but I find that it's a nice clean page and maybe I just don't wanna change it.

I always use a blank page. I hate it when I open a new window and a site I don't want to visit starts to load.

Blank page.

But then of course I immediately hit ⌘-1 to go to the latest posts, which I have as the first bookmark in my Bookmark Bar.

I use Shiira and have my home page as --- a blank page. Nothing on it at all. 🙂

 

[swindmill]

I use a blank page. There isn't one page that I need to see everytime I open my browser. I almost always open my browser from NetNewsWire or Mail anyways.

In Camino, which I haven't used in some time, I have it set to this only because I found it hilarious:

Agreed – it loads so quickly that it's a good test. Like, billchase2, I have the customised version, like so:



Very useful as well. 🙂

NYTimes.com

 

[devilot]

apple.com

If there's a new product I know to shoot for MacRumors' front page as opposed to my usual. 😛

 

[kretzy]

I have a blank page. Even though the first thing I always do is check MR, it's good for opening other tabs/windows for other purposes.

 

[miniConvert]

Blank page. Keeps everything fast. Always have, always will.

 

[20rogersc]

Firefox's Home Page.
Which, is pretty much Google.

[reh]

Blank page, but my home page is a collection of searches I put together.

 

[jeshepard]

www.imdb.com as whenever I'm watching a movie I repeatedly make trips to this site anyway.

 

[realityisterror]

I can't be the only digg fanatic here?!?

 

[Ugg]

Blank, The Guardian is my home page though.

Same - well, kind of.

I have it set to the default apple.com/startpage. Cool, I know 🙄 .

 

[njmac]

Blank page.

But then of course I immediately hit ?-1 to go to the latest posts, which I have as the first bookmark in my Bookmark Bar.

Same here, but instead of hitting cmd-1, I just hit "f" in the url field and automatically goes to:
