Default What do you use as a Home Page?

For many many year's I've used Yahoo. I did a custom page with three news links I am interested in and stock market reports I'm interested in. Yahoo at times tried to force me to use the one they wanted me to use with their links, their ads, etc. but I was always able to come back and use the one I set up, in lieu of not using them at all. As of this weekend it seems I lost my setup. I think it has to do with a change of ownership. Maybe it will come back but if not, I will need a new Home Page and I am looking for recommendations.

15 people have looked at this thread so far without a reply! I didn't realize it such a tough and unusual question. I promise, I am not a hacker. I will not get into your secret world. If you don't want to share it, its ok. But, why not????

Since I use Chrome, Google is my opening page across 2 of my 4 machines, with my most common web sites tiled underneath the Google search box. The other two machines come up with my employer's internal employee homepage.

I just have a picture and icons on my desktop. Then I click on whatever I want to see first. So I guess I don't have a homepage.

I have a yahoo page still, but don't fuss with it anymore. I just click around to wherever I want to be on the world wide web.

My Home Page is the NY Times, but I have a total of 10 tabs in view when I start Chrome, along with the Times. They are the sites that I visit every day: S2KI, S2KCA, NSXPrime, Facebook, Reddit, wunderground, iCloud, Nextdoor

Deb, what Dave is referring to is what page opens when you start your browser?

Oh, gotcha...MSN comes up, so I just leave it. I see it has top sites at the top of the page, so I could click on those. But I have my top sites on the desktop and click from there.
