Typically, most users open the same web pages every time they start their browser. It could be a postal service, social network, work site or any other web resource. Why waste time on opening the same pages every time, when they can be assigned as a start page.
The home or start page is the assigned address (or addresses) that automatically opens every time you start your browser. In Google Chrome, you can assign several pages at once as the home page, and this does not have to be the default search engine. This can be done in two completely different ways, and we will talk about each of them further, starting with the most obvious.
Method 1: Browser Settings
The start page of any web browser can be changed through its settings, and Google Chrome is no exception.
- Open the browser menu (three vertical dots to the right of the address bar) and select the item "Settings".
- Scroll down the opened page to the block "Launch Chrome", and select one of the three options presented there:
- "New inset"- a blank tab will be opened, by default this is a Google page.
- "Previously opened tabs"- Chrome will open as it was before closing.
- "Specified Pages"- the ability to install any site or sites as a starting point.
- Just the last point - "Specified Pages"- requires more careful consideration. It implies two options:
- "Add page";
- "Use Current Pages".
The first allows you to specify any site as the home page, for which you just need to enter its address in the appropriate line and click on the button Add.
The second one makes it possible to use all the currently open web resources as a starting point, only some of them or those that you yourself want to indicate in this section.
In fact, this is practically the same as "Previously opened tabs" discussed in the previous paragraph, only with more specificity. The best solution here would be to choose those sites whose pages you have open all the time (for example, a social network, mail, music, etc.). Moreover, each of the addresses in the list can be "Change"(specify any other preferred instead) and "Delete".
Whichever of the options for installing the home page in Google Chrome you choose, it will take effect immediately. Saving is not required, but the browser needs to be restarted to evaluate the effect of the changes.
Method 2: Search Engine Sites
Most search engines provide the ability to set their home page as a home page, and almost all of them make such an "offer" when visiting them directly. These include the following:
Conclusion

We'll talk about this in the next chapter.
So, how do you change the home page in Google Chrome so that the resource that the user wants is loaded? There is nothing complicated here either, but the steps for setting up such a function will be slightly more than in the previous chapter.
Now all that remains is to restart Google Chrome and check the correctness of the settings made. If everything was done correctly, then after the restart, the resource that you selected will start.
Conclusion

If you are absolutely not satisfied with the main page with the Google search engine in its central part, then you can easily change it to something more interesting or beautiful. Even a beginner can cope with such a task.
