At work, it’s mine.html which is a file I wrote and edit with a few links, which I call my ‘mostest favorites’.

At home, none as Chrome opens w/ icons of the last 6 (or 8?) sites I was at.

Me too. I made a custom Google search page using the classic simpler style.

But really I don’t use a home page/button any more. Firefox is set up to automatically bring up the tabs from my last session. And when I open a new tab, Firefox shows a bunch of recently visited sites.

Mark me down as another person that started with Yahoo! for a long, long time. I’ve dumped it and been looking for something “newsy” but not too “newsy.” Weird, I know, but I start with The Atlantic Wire for now.

Almost all of you are TOTALLY MISSING THE DRIFT. MyYahoo is not a “homepage”, like a simple [google.com](http://google.com) search. It is a huge, customizable RSS feeds and quick-links page.

To “It’s Not Rocket Surgery!”:  
I use protopage. Pageflakes was another good one, similar to old MyYahoo, but Pageflakes has gone bye-bye, just like the “good, old” MyYahoo.
