I guess _technically_, my homepage is Google, too, but I use [Opera](http://www.opera.com/), and what I start with depends on what I feel like. Sometimes I start with no page, and rely on my bookmarks. More often, I start with a saved window setup that opens GQ, IMHO, MPSIMS, and the BBQ Pit. More often than that, I pick “Continue from last time,” and whatever windows were open when I finished my last session start up. If I forget and it happens to be 35 SDMB threads, I feel really really guilty. I only start with my homepage if I don’t know exactly where I want to go. God, I love Opera. [/schill] ---

about:blank I used to have it as [Neopets](http://www.neopets.com), but it took too long to load every time. I would have it as [my own site](http://www31.brinkster.com/meridianconquer/) but it would get boring seeing it day after day, I think (it is, after all, nothing new to me), and I’d be inclined to change it every hour or so. ---

I used to be about:blank but then I noticed how often I head to Google first, so that’s it now. At home, at least. At work it’s our internal page. ---

Another vote for about:blank, it makes loading multiple instances of Internet Explorer a lot faster. ---

If it’s not too much of a highjack, what’s the reason/advantage? \*\* I usually have two browser windows open at the same time. It takes too long to load some other page; about:blank is open instantly.
