Ask HN: What are the most popular browser homepages?

1 pointsby sam_in_nycabout 16 years ago
I'm trying to see what the internet population at large uses as their browser's homepage. Google, iGoogle, NetVibes, PageFlakes, My Yahoo, MSN? I can't find any statistics on this. I'd very much appreciate it if anyone could find some data on this.<p>If you want to chime in with what you use, even though you're most likely an exception, I'm all ears! It might make good discussion. Mine is classic Google.

I use about:blank because I do not always wish to go to the same page each time I launch my browser, and I don't want to experience a slow start-up as my browser loads a pre-defined home page.<p>Out of curiosity, if you find this data, what do you want to use it for?

I use MyYahoo, and have for what seems like forever. I have never understood the appeal of the blank Google page as I like to see the latest news feeds (NY Times, BBC, and such). I tried iGoogle, but still prefer the MyYahoo layout. I also have my normal daily sites (Techmeme, Hacker News, local news) setup in the Firefox bookmark toolbar.<p>On my work PC I've actually got Firefox setup with 4 tabs (work-related sites) that load when I start it, though MyYahoo is set as the homepage there as well.
