If I'm not going to a specific page, usually the first thing I do is search. If I'm confident ("feeling lucky"), I'll search from the address bar. Otherwise, I like to have the homepage there for a regular search or for use of the language tools or other Google search options.

My search bar is usually at the dictionary, the IMDB, or the Ubuntu package search.

In the old days (before Google), it was about:blank (http://about%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:blank). Then, for many years, it was http://google.com or http://google.com/ig. Now, it's http://scott-desktop.local (which I have full control over--it has replaced bookmarks since it works on all machines and browsers).

I use a session saver and many tabs, so I don't see my home page regularly, but when I open a new tab, a home page is handy.

I'm surprised to see that none of the people who posted so far uses the same solutoin I use. I have the Tab Mix Plus extension and I have a spectial start-up session for it so Firefox opens with 3 tabs. Currently they are google.com/ig, gmail and the default about ubuntu page. The first two tabs are locked and frozen, so new links from them open in new tabs and they can't be closed. The third tab is just for anyting else I want to do.

[podunk]

http://www.msn.com/

It used to be the weather page for my area. But shortly after getting a stable backed up version of Ubuntu I visited the grc.com site to have my ports scanned. Of course it passed with flying colors.

A link caught my eye, and that led to another link and suddenly it dawned on me – there is a very good chance that Microsoft pays someone to analyze all visitors and report the results which go up the line.

And that's when i had the thought – I wonder what would happen if lots of Linux browsers started visiting the msn site? And I went and set it as my home page – and visit it several times a day.

Yes – I was a mean kid when growing up.

[BWF89]

Wow, Tab Mix Plus is great. I'm useing it now.

One thing though, I can make Wikinews and Wikipedia my 2 home pages if I want but when I do that I have to manually set the pages to protect so I don't delete them. Is there a way I can have my 2 homepages automatically protected when I startup the browser?

[spacegypsy]

http://www.ropeadope.com/

And I've a question too about my homepage,
I'm using it for a couple of years now and it worked well under windows and suse with different browsers.
Now with Ubuntu the navigation menu of the page doesn't load.
My ad block is turn off and I tried some other browsers (Mozilla and Epiphany) with the same result.
So I mailed the webmaster, he wrote;


My first guess would be that it is an issue w/ flash, but I see that the logic banner below the nav bar is loading ok-- so my second guess is that it could be an ad-blocker. Are you using any sort of ad blocking or filtering? If so, the filename of the menu is "finalmenu_noanim.swf"

Also, do you have another browser on your computer, and if so, does the menu load in that?

We probably should have a text-only nav bar somewhere on the page too, for people who don't have flash...

Brett

I'm afraid I can't remember, it's been a few months since I set up Firefox to open like that. I'm at work now, on Firefox 2 RC3,and sadly Tab Mix Plus is not compatible with it yet, so I can't test it. I guess I just locked/froze/protected (can't remember how it's called :-/) the tabs before I saved the session and that was it. I don't remember having any issues with it.

netvibes is a pretty rss reader, but it's features are pretty crappy. There is no way to save a post (such as flagging). so unless you are able to keep up with the posts daily, you'll miss a lot. Also you can't mark something as unread, unless you mark the entire feed as unread.

i also uploaded it to my googlepage and it can be found here http://delfick755.googlepages.com/google.html

I like the customization that page offers, but it loads too slow. My almost empty Google personalized home loads in a snap. I keep all the RSS feeds I want as Live Bookmarks in Firefox's Bookmarks Toolbar, so they're there when I need them too.

I was wondering what home pages others might have...In firefox I have google.com and in opera it's set to continue from last time :)

I think the default home page for a freshly installed Ubuntu should be the Ubuntu forums search page:) :) . There is a huge thread on this, just search for it and you'll find out what most use :P

News junkie here. Have been living here in Canada for nearly 2 years, but have to keep up with what "Dubyah" is doing to my country of origin, so am tuned into the US version of Google news.

Cheers!

www.google.com

I dont live in the US so I have to set 'www.google.com/ncr' as startpage in firefox or else it goes to google.no by default.

www.google.com

Although, that is normally bypassed with session restore.

Google

[mssever]

www.google.com (http://www.google.com)

I dont live in the US so I have to set 'www.google.com/ncr' as startpage in firefox or else it goes to google.no by default.

I didn't realize that Google automatically redirects people to the localized version of their site. I wonder if they do this by the browser's language, or by IP geolocation.

Since you force the US English version, I'm wondering what the advantage is to using it over the Norwegian version.

[FaceorKneecaps]

There are more search options on Google.com than google.no. But it's mostly annoying since everything else on the computer is in english :) .

Ahh...

So I guess that means that Google is using IP-based geolocation, in addition to looking at the browser's Accept-Languages header (or whatever it's called).

[FaceorKneecaps]

They are using their info from Google earth I might guess. :)

But like many others, it doesn't matter. I use session saving. Before session saving it was google. But now I can do various searches (imdb, dictionary, google, wiki, etc.) fromt he address bar in firefox.

I don't know, I just use the Opera Speedial thing whenever I open up a page.
