If you have ever come across a page that you would like your Internet browser to immediately open upon loading, it might come in handy to know how to make that happen. The homepage of a browser is simply the page that opens when the browser first loads. This can be any page on the Internet. Many prefer this opening page to be a search engine or a news site, but you can make any page you wish to be your homepage, even your own website. A few sites have a button that makes the change for you automatically, but setting your own page is simple enough that almost anyone can do it in less than a minute.
