msn.com

The thing I hate about it is you have to wait till it fully loads because it moves the cursor to the search box.

Then I also have links to my most visited sites.

I have the toolbar too, but my page is great for me when I'm at school, because I can't install the toolbar.

care to share some of your html? I'd like to make a page like that for myself...drop me a PM

Same here. That would be pretty handy :)

I think it's stupid to have google for your homepage. Sure, it loads fast, but how often do you need to search for something EVERY time you open a browser. I use yahoo and have a brief update to major news headlines, a search powered by google (if I actually needed to use it), links to movie info, webmail, etc -- all in one place. I'm not saying yahoo is best but Google definitely isn't.

nope, Opera has google search built in. I have 5 Opera homepages, cnn.com being the main one. My IE homepage is my Hotmail account.

right-click: view source.

Press "f3" and type "searches table"

There is a marker at the beginning and the end.

Leave a comment in my last entry or something to let me know you did it, just so I can feel good :)
