How to Change the Start Page in Chrome and Any Web Browser
Your browsеr’s startup рage plays a significant role in how you begin web searching. Taking the time to set it up with the right site or pаge can go a long way toward minimizing distractions and improving focus.
Every major desktop browser allows you to change the start page to display something other than the default new tab (or vice versa).
Here’s how to change the start page in Google Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.
How to Change the Start Page in Google Chrome
Google Chrome allows you to set the startup page as a new tab, pages from your last browsing session, or a custom page or set of pages.
1. Open the Chrome menu (select the icon with three dots to the top-left of the screen) and select Settings.
2. Select On startup on the sidebar.
3. Under the On startup section, you should find the following options:
- Open the New Tab page
- Continue where you left off
- Open a specific page or set of pages
Open the New Tab page
Chrome opens with a new tab, so this is the default startup option. Select it if you (or a third-party extension or program) made any changes to the start page in Chrome and want to revert that.
Continue Where You Left Off
Select this option if you want Chrome to resume where you left off during the previous browsing session. In case you had multiple tabs open, the browser shall re-open each of them automatically.
Open a Specific Page or Set of Pages
Allows you to open a specific page or set of pages at startup in Chrome. After selecting the option, select Add a new page repeatedly to enter the addresses of the pages you want the browser to open.
Alternatively, you can select Use current pages to add all sites within any open Chrome windows as your startup page or pages.
How to Change the Start Page in Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox features several ways to change the default start page. For example, you can pick between a new tab (what Mozilla likes to call Firefox Home), a custom page or pages, or a blank page. You can also configure the browser to restore your previous browsing session at startup.

Blank Page
Select this option if you want to set up a blank tab as the default start page. That’s ideal if you prefer zero distractions at startup.
