WOF: What's your browser homepage and why?
Over the years however many different options and trends have come and go on how to start your browsing sessions. From Google's simplistic search box approach to RSS-inspired personalized homepages like Netvibes and Pageflakes. Most recently social networks have elevated themselves as a source of breaking news and an effective way to connect with those around you. The browser itself has also impacted how you can start every session. For example, you can have it remember what tabs were open last time and take it from there, or you could set it up to open nothing (about:blank).
While we certainly encourage you to add TechSpot to your shortlist of first things to see when you browse the Web every day, in this week's WOF we ask you, what's your browser homepage and why? If you want to throw a brief story on how you used to code your own homepage filled with your favorite links back in the day (I did!) you won't hear us complaining. Discuss.

In Chrome it's Techspot.com, but in other browsers it's Google.com - because in Chrome I can type my g searches right into the address bar. I tend not to use the search bars on other browsers.

I also use Chrome as browser.
It's been a year since I joined TechSpot.

Right now I have it set to a comic strip site so I can see a new comic strip from the paper everyday.

I am kinda getting bored of it though and will probably switch back to yahoo as my home page, I like the news. I have google as my search in the top right of firefox.

I use Gazoomy:

Google with a nice theme, moveable search bar, tabulated results. All good! Ideal if you want to change your Google background to something more interesting.

Can't believe no one has mention Outlaws by Lucas Arts. I can't even remember the name of the gaming servers but they worked well in 97. Use to carry my computer over to my father-in-laws house and hook up to his and play over a serial connection. First strategy game was C&C and then Total Annihilation. Played TA for more hours then I care to remember. HAHA
