5. Change homepage in Safari

All current browsers have a series of functions and features that make them a key part of all navigation and management tasks in web environments. One of the simplest ways to customize our browsers is to establish a home page which allows us to have immediate access to some of the most frequent sites saving time..

TechnoWikis will explain how we can establish a home page, which is often the browser's own or a blank page in the main current browsers. Setting up a personalized home or home page will save time and gain practicality since just when you open the browser we will have the page we use the most. We will see how to change or set a custom homepage in Chrome , Edge , Safari, Firefox and Opera.


1. Change homepage in Google Chrome

Step 1

In the case of Google Chrome, we will go to a new session and click on the “Customize and control Google Chrome” icon and select “Settings” there:

Step 3

There we have the following options:

This option opens a blank page by default to access the desired page of our account.
Continue from where you left
With this option, when you access a new Google Chrome session, the last visited website will be opened.
Open a specific page or set of pages
Through this option we can define which or which websites will be opened when accessing Google Chrome.
Step 4

We will use the last option which gives us the opportunity to use the current pages or to define the desired ones, for this we click on the “Add new page” line and enter the respective URL:
