1. Set the Homepage in Google Chrome

You can set your browser’s homepage by choosing which site to open: the Google search engine, your favorite website… You are free to specify any website of your choice! To set your homepage, go to Chrome’s settings by clicking on the menu represented by 3 small dots (or a gear icon, depending on your version). Let’s go through it with images.

To open a custom homepage, first click on the small gray thumbnail located just to the right of the open tab to open a new tab:

Then click on the « Home » icon. This will open the website you have set in Chrome’s settings (see the previous section).
