WOF: What's your browser homepage and why?

Hate to say it, but Yahoo! is my homepage. It's a piece of crap, but I've been using it for years - probably for as long as Yahoo! has been around and now it's just a force of habit. I've customized it as much as possible to avoid all the "National Enquirer" crap they put on it, but still is pretty bad.

I just need to get off my duff and create my own or find something better. I like Guest's idea of Wikipedia as a start page - I'm there half a dozen times a day anyway.

I use google on my primary browser (Opera) and IE's homepage is Bing

Bing. My main search engine. Plus I like seeing the new pics they add every day. I leave Google as my secondary search engine through my main search tab in Firefox.

hello ...

on all browsers: blank! but when i go on them - 5 fixed main tabs - Playstation Lifestyle / Steam / techspot / playfire / yahoo.

when i do search: google

fav browsers: Chrome & Firefox

cheers!

Mine is the google chrome new tab page

wow lot of google Home pages out there....

Don't I feel the odd one out I use a modded Opera Speed Dial as my home page.

0 load time sense it's all local files, and access to more then I would want to spend time shacking a stick at.

Using simple URL shortcuts I can search from every search engine I want (Google, ebay, amazone, cuil, ask, gigablast, yippy, wikiapedia...etc)

42 thumbnail speed dial entries to all my most used Mail,hosting, web apps and BBS accounts + a couple web comics that don't use RSS feeds.

I have about:blank as my homepage. Im tired of waiting for all that flash to load on fancy websites on my 700k connection each time I open my browser. Thus, if I had to choose an opening page different from that one, I'd choose Google for its simplicity.

iGoogle with News, Sports, Weather and Google Trends on my list. I use the FF bookmarks toolbar for all my top news, tech and gaming sites I visit and TechSpot is number one on that list .

Default one

Astronomy Picture of the Day.. Has been that for the past 9 and a half years.
Because i love the daily space photos.

Sites: vwvortex.com and/or fourtitude.com
Why: car fan

I've been using www.alltheweb.com for years now. Why? Partly because it has a much better layout for picture viewing than google, it pretty much comes up with anything you might be looking for and because I tire of google this and google that. Yahoo's www.alltheweb.com is just as good and possibly better.

Really useful page.

iGoogle... packs my gmail, twitter, weather, google chat, and a few other things all in one handy page

Yahoo.com, I like they're random news articles and it allows for easy email access for me. Also I'll almost never type in a website in the address bar so Yahoo's search is perfect even though it's not as good as google which I have in the upper right corner of my browser. (Firefox)

I just use Chrome's "new tab" page. The only reason I don't just use a blank tab is that this page shows recently closed tabs, so if I accidentally close something I can find it quickly again.

For security purposes, I use a home brew page stored on my hard disk. It is just a 3 line message so it opens fast. If a browser hijacks my home page, I know about it instantly. about.blank can be used to deliver malicious code, so I don't use it. Firefox already has a search bar, which eliminates the need to open a home page dedicated to searching.

blank page

A newtab in Google Chrome offers me what i need

thumbs of most frequent visits and a bar full of bookmarks alone makes me feel i am in the the internet

Bing.com so snappy and happy. Internet surfing i start by ie sidebar, it's fastest way..

I use the SpeedDial in SRWare Iron. Simply because it looks so damned cool and has all the important stuff like this very site right there and you can use image URL's to give it an even cooler look for all the links :-D
