How to set up the start page of Google Chrome

On the convenience of using the browser, a lot can tell the first impression, which is formed after its start page has loaded. Google Chrome has a fairly minimal design and flexible system settings, which allows you to quickly design the appearance and functionality that will be displayed when you start the browser.

However, not all settings are obvious, which sometimes makes this process significantly more difficult. Therefore, it is worth paying special attention to the possibilities of Chrome, as well as to their search, change. For many novice users it's difficult even to just make Google the homepage in Chrome. And this procedure can be required quite often, since this search engine is very popular.

The need to know how to implement this setting regularly appears due to the fact that many programs and browser extensions change the address of the home page during installation. Especially in those cases when the user inattentively reads messages received during the installation of a particular software product.

To fix this situation and set up Google Chrome, the start page of which is extremely important for starting work, go to the "Settings" menu. Its button is located at the top right of the window and looks like a horizontal strip. In older versions, it looked like a wrench. Also access to the settings can be obtained through the key combination "Alt + F".

Opening the menu in one way or another, an untrained user will experience a certain confusion, since the start page of Google Chrome does not have its clearly marked category of settings. To install the required search engine, you must perform two actions.

First of all, you need to find the "Search" section, "Install search engine ...". From the opened list, you can choose the preferred option. Then you need to pay attention to the menu "Start group". To start page Google Chrome displayed the required resource, you should click "Next Page", "Add". In the opened window, in the form of a numbered list, those web resources that automatically load when the browser is launched will be displayed. Pointing to any of them, you can see the "x" icon on the right. Clicking it, the selected page will be removed from the Chrome startup.

At the same time, the user can independently register the URL ( Internet address ) of the web resource that he wants to see on the main page. And can clear this window from all records and leave it blank. In this case, by turning on the browser, the start page of Google Chrome will display the bookmarks bar in the form of small thumbnails or the most commonly used applications (YouTube video service, Google disk for storing various data, Gmail mail service , etc.).

It should be noted that for exactly the same principle, the start page is configured in all browsers that use the open web-kit engine in their work. Among them there are very interesting projects from Mail.ru, Yandex, Rambler and others.
