Just curious really...

I dont, I use Runestorm Home as homepage

I don't use google as my home page, but one could almost say it is in a way. I use firefox and set my home page to "about:blank". When I open fox, the cursor is automatically in the address field, so I can start typing an address. If I want to do a google search, I just hit tab to go to Fox's built-in google field.

*Raises hand*

I'm also rather annoyed at any computer I might have to use that doesn't have Google as home, as I"m used to hitting the home button for easy searchings.

I use Google as my home.

Captain Xavious · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 4:13 pm

I was wondering the same thing, Jerry.

If I wanna do a quick search I just go up in the little corner of the window and do a quick search.

Man I love Fire Fox.

Captain Xavious · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 8:19 pm

If you didn't, then you are weird.

Or I use IE7 and can easily tell the Firefox part at the top. The only slightly confusing part is why X has so many things under the search tabs... >_> that is confusing why you'd ever need THAT many!

That wasn't the confusing part of the image.

OCAdam · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 9:02 pm

I'm now guessing the part that confused you was the pic of the broswer part that included part of this topic. Heh... it's just a Paint cut. Iunno, but I guess I don't get fooled too easily. I'm not invulnerable to that though, so don't try to do it on purpose! I just caught that pic instantly. Also... note the jpeg'd-ness. That might be why I caught it instantly.

DK · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 9:11 pm

You're not using FireFox if you don't have google as your homepage, heh.

Bjossi · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 9:55 pm

What do you mean?

Wup · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2007 10:17 pm

I'm using Firefox and have my site as home page.

The wikipedia one is very convenient, as well as the ebay and and UnrealWiki ones, depending on what I'm looking for.

The Merriam Webster one is there for when I occasionally have a question on a word and stuff, the Google one is there for obvious reasons, and the other ones... I dunno.

They just came with it and I never bothered to clear them out yet.

I use google as homepage.
It's clean and neat, and I don't habe to wait half and hour when I open my IE

Captain Xavious · **Posted:** Thu Dec 06, 2007 11:44 am

My internet provider automatically opens up a tab with its worthless homepage...

I immediately close it, but its rather annoying and I can't find an option to disable it. Need to look into that some time...

Does that mean you need to wait 15 minutes instead?

I second that motion. I use Firefox with IGoogle as my home page so I can add whatever I want to it.

I have the Bookmarks RSS feed in my top left. You should really check it out: http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en

Exactly my thoughts.
And yes i use google as homepage.

Here's a fun fact: Microsoft employees use Google rather than msn search.

Sgt. Kelly · **Posted:** Thu Dec 06, 2007 5:59 pm

The Half Life Improvement Team forum greets me when I open up Firefox. I navigate with Bookmarks and use the google toolbar when I want to find stuff.
