Are you loyal to your home page?
I have been a very loyal fan of MSN for my home page now for over 8 years now, Today has just put the lid on the jar for me though. I found that for the last 4 weeks or more MSN has been advertizing for Obama, Using the First Lady today! I am no longer going to use MSN for my Email or my Home page. This just has me disgusted! It seems that MSN is a left wing media out let and really I do not want my Home page to be political at all. Yes give me news but be far be balanced do NOT push me to view your political views, Am I right? How do you feel about your HOME page and would you change it and your Email if this is what you see?

I wrote a custom home page with links to everywhere I go, grouped by function.
It's just text links. I've been using it for many years.

Google is my homepage. And no. Loyality (is that a word????) on the internet is silly.

MSN, Yahoo and so on, if non personalized, must be the most horrible garbage and gossip homepage ever seen... and I would never have related "loyalti" to homepages (or doritos, etc) Just my 5c
![]() I use to switch a lot, mainly have a newspaper.

My home page has always been about:blank and if it isn't about:blank I get annoyed so yes, extremely loyal. I know exactly where I want to go on the internet when I open the browser and every second it wastes loading a page I don't want to see is a second I'm unhappy.

i have 5 tabs set to open when I open Chrome. 4 Facebook games that I play and TPU
![]() for the record, its not some ghey game like Farmville, its hunting type games: Ghost Trappers, Alien Visitors, Fish Wrangler and Mousehunt. All games work on the premise of hunting every 15 mins (or less in GT and AV). Also I definitely dont put real $$ into those games either, they are just good time wasters when TPU forums are slow

I got tired of page loads, so about:blank it is (and has been for years).
(edit: For a while it was Mozilla's/Google's Firefox Start Page (in Firefox), but I long ago got sick of a chunky MSN type page loading up.) Last edited by Suhidu; Oct 20, 2012 at 04:52 PM. |

Been using TPU as my home page for many years now.
Nothing better than opening it up and see all the news.

I need a homepage that loads fast. Really fast.
When my boss walks into my office I may need to bail off TPU or a Jeep site NOW !!!

I can imagine lots of people wanting to do this but not possessing the skills or knowledge. Could it be a viable project for you to make an app. that sets it up for a nooby user? That's easily customisable by said user for their own links etc? Or is it way too easy to even need an app for?
