What is your homepage?

I stumbled upon a fav4 and really like the approach. I plan on doing a custom one for myself (like I did the google links). Wonder if others want the same..

I use Opera, which has Speed Dial, which is basically an about:blank style page filled with thumbnail images of websites that I can configure and click to go to those sites.

I tend to see the speed dial more than I see my home page because the speed dial is what gets displayed when I open a new tab, but technically Google is my home page.

I've got mine set to my igoogle page. I keep it pretty simple, just my email, a calendar, local weather, and wikipedia search.

I just downloaded the new opera, the grid of sites is like safari's.
I like the mouse gestures, not sure if I will switch off of firefox (i use firebug tons). But playing now with those widgets, like the dvorak vs qwerty distance measurer.

On my mac I found the "welcome to safari" animation and sound so its schwweeeeeeen dddin dddin when I open the browser..

Otherwise I leave my firefoxes as firefox google. But fav4 caught my attention..

Actually you have that backwards pal. Safari got it from Opera. ;)

I use Chrome, which has the same feature. Before that I always used about:blank.

I actually have four home pages. I use the FF feature that allows for it, and the only one that is on the poll list is Facebook. Ozzu is actually also one of the four.

My home pages are Google, GMail, Wedevoy, and Ozzu. I mostly see Google though unless I know where I'm going.

I don't know why I have four home pages though... that is what Bookmarks are for, aren't they?

Although I'm scared they're taking over the world... I too am addicted to Google. Combined with Chrome it's certainly the most efficient way to search.

iGoogle I could see as a home page, because you can add whatever gadgets you want, but I don't know why anyone would make google your home page (other than the fact that it loads fast), when you can just set Google as your browser's default search and then just use the built in search of the browser.

I'm kind of surprised that nobody has admitted to using playboy or hustler as their home page.
