Do you look at the same pages every single day? We can make your life easier. Here’s how you can set your homepage in Chrome.
If you surf the web frequently and have a list of sites you check every morning, you may want to set up a new custom homepage. In fact, some people choose to open a plethora of frequently visited pages as soon as they open up their browser. Luckily, Google makes this easy and intuitive to do in your desktop’s settings. Here’s how to set the homepage in Chrome.

Setting Your Homepage on Desktop
Follow these steps to set a custom URL for Chrome’s homepage:

-
Click the 3 dots in the top right of the screen.
-
Click Settings.

Click On startup on the left side of the screen.
-
Click the Open a specific set of pages button.

Repeat the process if you want more than 1 tab to open when you open Google Chrome. For example, if you always want to view the local weather station’s website as well as Reddit, you could add both to start your day right.
And there you have it! Now you have a custom home page or pages that will launch when you start Google Chrome. If you’re doing this on mobile, follow the instructions below.
