Another browsing habits thread
« 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.

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

 I use A.org as a home page,  nice layout and it doesn't matter where one starts from?  8-)

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.

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.

I've got IBrowse and Mozilla set to about:
I probably should change them to Amiga.org; it's almost invariably my first destination. :-)

all my boxes have amiga.org as the homepage. Easier that way.

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

generally useful.

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! :-)
