Well about:blank I have as the default in IE (I install all computers that way too, then adjust to customer preferences) cuz sometimes there's no net connection and it's just painful waiting for IE to timeout...

As far as the browser I actually use ;) Firefox, I've kept it @ it's default. If nothing else, to boost the statistics of how much FF is run.... (of course mostly with Cookies set to session only).

4 home pages on FF w/ the foxPose extension(each takes up 1/4 of screen simultaneously)... one of them is the customized Google page with one of its tabs being MSFN.

about:blank. I don't like it automatically grabbing from some site whenever I start it, especially because I never visit sites in a particular order every time.

nVnews.net - A tech info site, had it for years but may replace it with MSFN or some other tech news site.

In FF also Yahoo!-Mail.

about:blank for me on my laptop. A lot of the time I'm on a 1.4 kbps connection through my cell phone, so even google wastes time. For anything hooked to an ethernet line, though, gets google :thumbup

I'm pretty much with hyperhacker here. Also have mine set to the localhost (actually 'http://127.0.0.1/forums/') to keep up on if anyone has contacted me on my forums.

For my laptops, since I never know in advance whether or not I begin browsing online, I set it to about:blank. Favorites menu makes it easy enough to navigate from there. My personal desktop is set to:
