I had previously used iGoogle but ever since it was set to be decommissioned, I switched to the recently used page on Chrome.<p>What does everyone use?
I feel HN as a homepage would be way too time consuming!
As some of the other comments say, the idea of a homepage isn't popular with Chrome. Most people either keep the pages they always open anyway using restore. Otherwise if you have a few popular sites, using either the Chrome default new tab page with most viewed and apps. I'd recommend something like that as an alternative to a old fashion home page.
I use speed dial 2
