What is your browsers start-up page?

    When I launch my browsers, I have my current page set to start by displaying a file that is on my computer. It's just a page I built that links to a few of my favorite pages, and launches certain utilities that I want handy. It makes for a better desktop. There are many advantages to doing this. For one, if I know there has been a major internet attack by viruses, I can launch my browser and then choose to go somewhere to get updates.

    Most of the businesses which are major players are hoping that everyone will use their start-up page, and they have some nice designs.

    What is your browser start-up page?

    Firefox's default Google Page for me.
    I dislike Goo, but love Firefox :)
    Your useful page is a good idea.

    about:blank - that way I don't have to wait for anything to load. I used to have a page like you, with some links but I kept adding / changing it - I just figured that I should rely on my favorites more :)

    I have about 30 pages open (all in tabs) that I look at everyday. As I use Opera, they load pretty fast. I have also saved various sessions so I can have Opera open up my standard session (the 30 tabs) or a work related session or a research related session.

    Some sites I have in the tabs include:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com
    http://www.wickedfire.com
    http://www.fark.com
    http://www.phpizabi.org/forums/english/index.php
    http://mail.google.com
    http://slashdot.org/
    https://www.google.com/adsense/home

    and some other sites I like/am involved with/researching

    My rss reader (web based) is my homepage. It's Google reader, btw. Looks like, if this thread is indicative, Google holds the lion's share of homepages.

    I used to use yahoo and now I use google. After reading the thread I think I'm going to change it to about:Tabs

    Seems like a good idea to me not to load any site and use favorites more often.
