> [@Covered\_In\_Bees](#): > > **Hakuna** : The blank page people use for their homepage is a setting under Tools –\> Options for Firefox. You just choose “Show a blank page” on the drop down list. Which I now know about thanks to the posters above. Right. And in Internet Explorer, you’ll see it in Tools \> Internet Options, under the “General” tab - click “Use blank” (which will automatically fill the text box above with “about:blank”). ---

Am I the only one who has their very own personalised start page on their home machine? As in, basic HTML on the web space I get with my ISP. I play around with it once in a while, adding and removing links. There’s a unobtrusive link on it to NSFW sites, but I could open it at work during lunch and go to my favourite sites. However, at work, it’s my company’s webpage, so when I fire up the browser, if the boss is there, it’s all good. ---

> [@Hakuna\_Matata](#): > > For years it was Yahoo, but I decided this last time when they did their ‘update’ that I hated it and am on the prowl for a new home page. Temporarily I have CNN but I am not happy with it. Agreed. I’m still sticking with Yahoo out of sheer inertia, but their new page is loathsome. ---
