I use the bbc’s news page as mine. I like to be able to catch up on the latest news stories when I start my laptop up. What do you like to catch up on/ look at when you startup your browser? ---

For my home desktop, it’s an iGoogle page (normal google search bar at top, but with calendar/weather/email/news widgets filling most of the page). For my laptop, my de facto work computer, it’s my work’s webmail login page. ---

I use the real Speed Dial (Opera’s.) So essentially I have 9 home pages, but I could increase it to 12 or I think even more now with the new version. ---

Seriously, if people only knew . . . every “hot new feature” on all the trendy browsers is almost always something Opera has been doing for years.

The #1 example being tabbed browsing, which was OMGHOLY$^\*$AWESOME!!!#@111 to Firefox/IE users a couple years ago, even though Opera has been doing it for like a decade. I tried Opera.
