google of course, when i double click my browser icon i want it up and running, so i can either search right then and there, or type in an address like msfn.org.
i've moved so many people from yahoo to google just because of the loading time diffrences. |

Homepage ? what is that?
I do google searches from opera's address bar. And have no use to waste space on a "home" icon on a menu...I have 10-20 pages/tabs open, and Opera set to resume-from-last-session on startup. |

When you open your browser it doesn't "go anywhere" or attempt any outbound connections - it just displays a blank screen. For IE, thats where my homepage is set to, for the odd time I have to even open that browser.

QUOTE (breadandbubbles @ Nov 21 2005, 08:18 AM)  having "about:blank" sounds like the stupidest thing ive ever heard. id never even considered it. can someone PEASE explain the sense in that? Like Crash&Burn said, the browser doesn't do anything on startup. It means that it's waiting for me to tell it where I want to go (since I don't always go to the same place when I open Opera). As for Google searches, it's a matter of typing g Some random stuff and Opera redirects me here. That being said, it's about:blank for me.

localhost. Specifically, file:///F:/html/homepage.html. It uses Javascript to generate a page with various statistics and webcomics on it.
In IE I use about:blank, because I only ever use IE to view random HTML files on my HD to see how they look. This post has been edited by HyperHacker: Nov 24 2005, 11:10 PM |
