How to Change Homepage Settings in Google Chrome?



When you open Google Chrome, it shows a default homepage containing "Most Visited" page list and Bookmarks history:

If you like a blank page as homepage or want to change the homepage to some other website, then this tutorial will help you:

1. Open Chrome Options:

Now type about:blank in URL box to set homepage as blank or if you want to set it some other URL, then enter the full URL or select it from "Recently visited sites" list if present.

    ^^ Chrome does have problems with Flash and regarding to removing particular URL, its not known to me atm. :)

  • Love your Help sections for Google Chrome. It's almost like reading Chrome for Dummies, which you'd have to be, not to be able to understand it. LOL. I'm stilling learning about using kb shortcuts and am looking forward to learning more about Chrome. Keep up the good work!
