Because every time I log onto the 'net I don't want to go to Yahoo, etc.

I hate waiting for a page to load that I don't want to got to.

Yes I could hit stop, but that's just more busy work. Why not just leave it blank??

Custom page I made up with links to about 40 different sites that I use occasionally. Quicker than browsing through the favorites and trying to find the stinkin things.

I was actually gunna post this exact thread today. Heh. Isn't it ironic.

I've got 8 home startup pages, that all open up together inside my browser when I open it. They can be in full page mode (in which case each has a tab at the top, which you click to choose which home page is on top you can have a look just by clicking here) or they can be in window mode (& cascaded or tiled)

That's the beauty of the Opera 4.02 Browser, Its also Java, Javascript & plug-in (Shockwave, Flash, Quicktime, Acrobat, etc) compatible. Hower the plug-ins involve a little bit of fuking arround to get working. Its a small download to, even though it has E-mail & News reading functionality built in (you don't have to enable those options), at only 1.5MB for the non Java version & about 10MB for it with both Java & Javascript pre-installed.

Even though Opera is good for checking the same half dozen websites every day, I still use IE5 for just browsing about though, as websites built on MS software are designed to only look right using IE4+.

My startup page? The page where you type in your username and password to login to AnandTech forums!

My start-up page used to be bookmarks.htm when I used netscape, now it's about:blank.

I actually liked it when it was a page of my favorite links, but stupid explorer has individual files for each link! I would make a personal page of links but I uh... formatted my old bookmarks.htm

DaBanshee-

I like Opera as well....but Zuni says that Anandtech won't support it :(. I noticed there are a couple of functions in the forums that don't quite work correctly in Opera...
