Title: What's your homepage?
Post by: 2beers on January 21, 2009, 09:02:56 pm: Mine is
about:robots
, which is for firefox users only. I chose it for it's quick-loading, non bandwidth leeching goodness. And it's got robots. :cool:

Before that I would use
about:blank
with the aesthetic assistance of the stylish (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108) extension. It's like Greasemonkey (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748), but focuses on customizing CSS. If you're interested in stylish there's userstyles.org (http://userstyles.org/) for you to pick styles from.

I only use that because most of the time Firefox saves my session so I never really see my homepage. Plus it's Google, probably one of the most cliche homepages.

I read that with an N at first, but even after realizing that mistake I still feel as offended.

Yes you're right there is one. But as far as the homepage goes I see no reason why I should change that. I am used to having Google as my homepage. Sorry fo rnot mentioning that...

Post by: Vellfire on January 30, 2009, 01:55:55 pm: Well yeah, i'm not saying people should be changing their homepages, I just never understood the idea. After you're used to it I can see why you wouldn't change it but I don't know why people actively set their homepage to google.

I don't know about other people but I'm really lazy and when you open google.com it automatically selects the text box, rather than having to click the search bar first in my browser....

I have google as a homepage on my other computer (which I don't use very often for browsing, I guess..) as an alternative for about:blank, which is too... well.. blank...
