To set a homepage in Google Chrome, follow these steps:
- Open Google Chrome.
- Click the three dots (menu) in the top-right corner and select "Settings."
- In the left sidebar, click "Appearance."
- Toggle on "Show Home button."
- Below "Show Home button," select "Enter custom web address" and type or paste the URL of the site you want as your homepage.
- To set what pages open when Chrome starts, go to "On startup" in the left sidebar.
- Select "Open a specific page or set of pages," then click "Add a new page" and enter the desired URL.
- Once set, clicking the Home button will take you to your homepage, and opening Chrome will load the page(s) you specified.
This method works on desktop versions of Chrome on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebook. For mobile devices, the process is done through the Chrome settings under "Homepage" and enabling it with a custom web address. This ensures your Chrome browser starts up and has a homepage that opens your favorite website directly.
