What homepage do you use?

For the last 20+ years, I've been using a Web 1.0 links manager site, but it looks like it may have just shut down.

Do you all have a recommendation for a good/useful/interesting/functional homepage? Ideally something that can be configured with frequently used links.

Oh wow. I think I just use the chrome homepage! All my usual haunts are in folders along the bookmarks bar, so it doesn't much matter what's on the home screen. Maybe I should just make it GWJ

Huh used to use Yahoo. Think it got imported into chrome. But I never close my browser and it reopens tabs so I never really even use a homepage.

Google News.

My homepage is gmail. Because I am old.

I’m boring. I just use about:blank

The Firefox homepage with a bunch of top sites pinned.

Same

I used to use a site called myhq.com. It's been in operation with no major updates since the late '90s. Anyway, it's been down for a few days and I'm not sure if it is going to come back up.

I checked out Kadaza, but it isn't right. The layout isn't great and it doesn't allow for linking to subpages.

I'm also looking for something that doesn't seem like a desperate ploy to monetize me in some way.

Maybe I just need to build a local html file with some tables.

kiss ass.

I use about:blank as a startup page, and reddit as a homepage. If you curate your subscriptions there carefully, it can still be pretty useful.

The default config there is horrible, though; their new interface sucks, their default subscriptions suck, it's just a bad experience when you first show up there.

I use a Chrome browser widget called Incredible Startpage, which is pretty nice. It hasn't been updated in a while, but seems ok.

Glad I'm not the only one. Thankfully old.reddit.com still works. I have that one bookmarked.

I just use the default Google search page (not the clunky homepage they try to push on people). It's simple enough that it loads up quick and I go there enough that it's more often than not the page I'm heading to anyway.

Protonmail, Gamerswithjobs and about: protections. The latter gives an overview of the stuff Firefox blocked on the sites you visited.

Me too! I also use an extension for blank new tabs.

Yay! It's back. The site was down for about a week and a half.

myhq.com for those of you interested.

It's kind of amazing to me that, 25 years on, there's no really great answer for a useful, functional web browsing starting point.

Can you post a screenshot of what your page looks like? I'm curious how Internet 1.0 everything looks

Uh, that would be way to public for me.

It's all text and tables and dead links to dead services from 20 years ago. Blast from the past. But, for me it is useful.

I am also a blank home page person. I do use Firefox though on my home computers and I have left the default 'blank' home page they came out with last year that shows your top sites and pocket news stories.

Wasn't sure if it would be or not. I also want some pics of the front and back of your credit cards. Don't worry, you can trust me.

I use bing so I can get points and exchange them for Xbox gift cards to buy games for free. Unless I'm misunderstanding the topic.

Boring Google search bar.
