Poll: What’s Your Browser Startpage?
Sunday, July 13th, 2008 by MattOn virtually all web browsers (modern browsers, anyway), you can set a particular page (or pages if you have a tab-equipped browser) to automatically open when you launch the browser.
What page you choose is obviously up to you, and it’s generally a choice made depending on browsing habits.
That brings us to the question: What site do you use for your browser start page? Take a moment to vote in the poll (you’ll have to click through if you’re reading this in an RSS aggregator).
What do you use as your browser start page?
- Google (40%, 20 Votes)
- Netvibes, iGoogle, or other custom portal (20%, 10 Votes)
- Other (20%, 10 Votes)
- about:blank (16%, 8 Votes)
- A custom HTML file (6%, 3 Votes)
- Yahoo/AOL (2%, 1 Votes)
- My blog (2%, 1 Votes)
Total Voters: 50
Are you a Googlemaniac or do you prefer About:Blank? Or do you prefer to load up Netvibes or Pageflakes with RSS feeds and Twitter streams?
