Title: Another browsing habits thread
Post by: mikeymike on January 23, 2004, 01:01:12 AM: Do you have your web browser go to a website for your home page?

Anyone have amiga.org as their home page? :-)

I personally go with a blank page because I have no set routine for what sites I want to read first in a session.

Post by: SilvrDrgn on January 23, 2004, 01:19:05 AM: Different home pages on different computers for me.
A4000T = Amiga.org
AmigaOne = Debian Linux home page
Work laptop = company home page
Contract assignment PC = contract home page

Post by: Lo on January 23, 2004, 01:27:12 AM: I use A.org as a home page, nice layout and it doesn't matter where one starts from? 8-)

Post by: Argo on January 23, 2004, 01:34:02 AM: I use whatever the defaut page is set at. It's usually the deveoper's page for the browser. That way I can see if there are any updates, etc. before I get started.

Post by: BouncingAyatollah on January 23, 2004, 01:51:59 AM: Blank page. In Opera if I am currently reading something, like a tutorial, I keep it open when I close Opera and use "Continue from last time" when I start it next.

Yes. Is this a shameful revelation? :-D

Post by: Matt_H on January 23, 2004, 03:56:53 AM: I've got IBrowse and Mozilla set to about:
I probably should change them to Amiga.org; it's almost invariably my first destination. :-)

Post by: Methuselas on January 23, 2004, 04:12:34 AM: all my boxes have amiga.org as the homepage. Easier that way.
Title: Re: Another browsing habits thread
Post by: Wolfe on January 23, 2004, 08:26:51 AM: Although A.org is my first stop almost every time, mine are all set to a "BLANK" page.

Freedom of choice, first and formost. :-D

Post by: SlimJim on January 23, 2004, 09:17:29 AM: I set the homepage to Google ... Very quick to load and
generally useful.

Post by: Chunder on January 23, 2004, 10:08:47 AM: I created my own (local) "homepage" so that if I load up a browser when I'm not online, it doesn't spit messages at me!

The page has a selection of my favourite sites listed as links, along with a Google search bar, a currency conversion section (from xe.com) and a few weather tickers (from wunderground.com)

Very useful! :-)

Post by: Ryu on January 23, 2004, 11:38:56 AM: I have amiga.org set as my homepage, used to be ann.lu up until a year ago. I have toyed with the idea of creating my own local homepage with google and things on like Chunder has... but I guess I will have to stick to a.o being my homepage now :-)

Post by: Step on January 23, 2004, 12:09:46 PM: Google all the way, on all three PC browsers. Firebird, IE, Opera.
I used to have a links page made up by my self, but google is more useful and they change their logo from time to time wich is really funny.

Post by: Floid on January 23, 2004, 12:33:38 PM: Presently aimed at http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/ (http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/).

Lazy Mozilla users wanting a local homepage can just point it to bookmarks.html.

Post by: starbird80 on January 23, 2004, 12:34:15 PM: I have mine set to go to my local weather from weather.com. With DSL at home and wired/wireless at school, I'm connected more often than not.

Back when I was using Voyager, I had it set to open to the bookmarks page, which did very nicely for a "local" homepage. [Edit: as Floid posted nearly simultaneously!]

Post by: Vincent on January 23, 2004, 01:06:46 PM: I've got Opera set to start with a blank page.

Everytime I connect to the net using the BT Dialler thingumy it loads Opera and a new page with the BT homepage in it.

Post by: Kees on January 23, 2004, 04:22:47 PM: Amiga.org is set as home ... would be wierd if it would be another.
Title: Re: Another browsing habits thread
Post by: vortexau on January 23, 2004, 04:38:03 PM: Mozilla starts as a search-page!

Opera starts as my Home Page, overlaid by a least three pop-ups. Though sometimes I choose Opera when selecting a LINK-URL in Email.
