A sample of Japanese folks took a survey to establish what their browser home page was.
The results were as follows.

MSN, Yahoo, other portal site 42.2%
Google, other search engine page 26.5%
Work web page 18.9%
Microsoft, other OS maker’s home apge 2.2%
News site home page 1.6%
Provider’s web page 1.6%
Related company, organisation home page 1.1%
Hotmail, Gmail, other web mail page 1.1%
PC maker’s home page 0.5%
Shopping site home page 0.5%
Newspaper home page 0.5%
Customer web page 0.0%
Opera, Firefox, other browser home page 0.0%
Other 3.2%

I currently leave mine on the default firefox Japanese Google search.
I know some of you have dannychoo.com as your default home page (thank you ^^;) and was thinking of making something a bit more streamlined for you folks.
What do you have as your default home page?

Data from What Japan Thinks.

I wonder if this is an indicator of how many Japanese browser users use Firefox or other alternative browsers like Opera versus default IE or something based on the poll of their homepage content or not? i.e.> by looking at amount who claim to use opensourced browser homepages as their startpage for the number of users or lack thereof rather who commented as having firefox or opera portal or startpage as their browser home page or were some or many of those Google user actually firefox users who landed on Google page as homepage by default of use of Firefox perhaps?

Ever since I found the feature, my browser automatically loads what was on it last so whatever tabs I had opened (which I massed closed before) just pop back up when I go on it again =P

If I didn't have this, I would probably have mu iGoogle page up...

Homepage: Google news. 
But I quickly go to your page usually. World and local news are depressing (but you still have to know what happens out there, right?), I prefer to see and read something that can cheer me up.

I was also wondering about Mirai-Chan... I would like to see her more on the site, like her being the interface for the search engine, and maybe one day being able to interact with her (a flash option would be nice!).

Both my IE and FireFox are set to "blank", then I just click the corresponding tabs... DannyChoo.com being the first tab I always click on ;D

The reason I have it blank is because... well, the browser loads faster hehe.

I have Google as my homepage. For some reason, I don't have many favorites or tabs. I just type in "hotmail", "gmail" or "yahoo" for my email and "Dannychoo" for this site. Is this ok? ;p

I used to have Yahoo! as the default but I changed it to Google, since Yahoo had fancy bulky renovation which made browser to start up slower. Also I hate when yahoo automatically snaps my cursor to search field while I'm trying to type something on address bar (Especially with Safari).

Kotaku.com here, may consider changing since their banning system totally sucks.
apparently, a sarcasmic "PS3 has no games, no games, no games" when the article title was "kaz hirai says ps3 needs games, games, games" or something like is a good reason for a ban.

anyone knows a good gaming blog out there?

Safari is my default browser and I have it set to just open a blank page, I don't like having it spend time to load a page because it slows down moving to other sites and opening other tabs.
I find it kind of funny that the top two homepage setups are pages I never visit, since I use the google search bar or Quicksilver to initiate all my searches and never found a use for portal sites.

I have Google as my home page.  Partially because it's convenient, but it's partially because my internet at home is rather sporadic.  If I open the browser up and some other site doesn't come up, I can't tell if it's them or me.  But if Google doesn't come up, I know the problem's on my end.  If Google goes down of its own accord, the world's ending. XD

I use Google as my homepage. A little while back I tried using the personalized variant of Google for my homepage, but it loaded too slow and I didn't have anything very important to display there either. I also have been considering setting a black page as my homepage to speed up opening the browser.
