What is the first web page you visit when you start your browser?

Anyone use SF besides me?

Yup, on every computer, SF is the startpage.

moz: google.com (used to be dmoz.org)
myIE2: msn.com (the default page on a rarely used browser)

Home PC: Blank. I really, really dislike start pages. But SF is the most common site I hit first.

Work PC: Our team intranet page.

Smart device (Treo 600 phone/Palm Pilot): Last visited page; usually Chicagoland traffic text version ( http://www.ai.eecs.uic.edu/GCM/tt.html ) or my local weather ( optimized for handheld devices at http://www.hiddentreasurehosting.com/weather/index2.php?zip= )

Wifes's PC: Yahoo mail.

I can't remember shit, so I need google as my start page to find answers to all life's questions.

For those who use SF as the start page, do you bookmark it right to the forum, or the front page?

Front page.

My homepage is SF's forum page on Moz-based browsers, and Microsoft.com for IE (which is, honestly, the only thing I need IE for, since huge portions of Microsoft's site don't work except in IE).

I visit SF through google quite a bit, too, which is always through the front page, since I'm too lazy to click the second search result.

MSN - mainly to check email and catch the headlines.

Straight from firefox's "options" tab, with char. returns added for legibility.

I didn't realise that I had such a popular start page.

1. I rarely "start" my browser -- my PC is on 24/7 and the apps I use frequently are always open (myIE2, Outlook, Explorer, Winamp as a bare minimum)

2. And when I do, it's set to resume last visited pages, so I get the 20-30 tabs that I've been dealing with for the last couple weeks

At home, it's my ISP's mail portal on Moz and Microsoft's page for myIE2 (I only use that for Windows Update & online banking), whilst at work it's our college intranet front page on IE and about:blank for Moz.

Half my computers start on TSE.com (Toronto Stock Exchange's web site) and the other half open on SF.

Google, since at least half the time I start a new broser it is to search for something.

My Yahoo! is my start page. I like to check my e-mail and get up to date on the news. After that I either go to SR or SF, depending upon which I'm more active in at the moment.
