how to set a home page with avast secure broswer

I cannot believe I have to ask this.

Ever since dinosaurs roamed the planet Earth, people have been able to get a certain web page to pop up every time they opened their web browser.

I cannot figure out how to set a Home Page in Avast Secure Browser. I have Google’d this 1000 different ways and all I get is “how to set a default browser”.

I don’t want to set a default browser.

I want to use Avast Secure Browser. And I want it to load a certain web page every time I use it. Is this too much to ask?

I don’t use ASB, but check this - Avast Secure Browser FAQ - See https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Secure-Browser-FAQ/.

That said have you ever used Google Chrome, if so the ASB is a chromium based browser, so I would guess it is the same/similar.

On ASB.
Settings>Apperance>Show Home Button
Then inserl the url of the specific webpage you want as your Home page.

Thanks for the input.

Maybe I’m missing something, but this is not answering my question. I wanted “to get a certain web page to pop up every time I opened the web browser.”

This “home button” concept doesn’t do that. I open the browser – still shows me the Avast search bar page.

I press Control-N – the new window still gives me Avast search bar page.

The “home button” just puts a button on every page that I can press to make my desired page appear. I want my desired page to pop up when I open the browser.

I read the Google Chrome instructions – now I see, the thing I want has been re-named “Startup Page”. That’s what I want. How do I set a “Startup Page” in ASB?

Since the ASB is Chromium based, did you read the link i gave in my first post ?

Or you can check out this google search.

Yes I did.

Are you suggesting that this link somehow answers my problem?

Yes (the second link in reply #1) or I wouldn’t have posted it.

The google search results in my post you quoted - I have given you a start point, you need to examine the results and try some to see if it works.

The only problem is that I haven’t used chrome browsers and have no intention of starting now.

You are sending me on a wild goose chase. Avast’s browser does not have the same menu as Chrome.
Chrome allows you to do what I am asking for.
I cannot find any way to do this in Avast.
That is why I have come here, asking for help.

I can’t do it for you, I don’t even use the Avast Secure Browser.

There will either be a menu/settings function somewhere, as rocksteady has pointed out. Whilst that may not have exactly been what you were looking for it is a start point.

Avast Secure Browser, go to ⋮ Menu (three dots) ▸ Settings - and see if there is an option for a Start Page.

Go to Settings → scroll down to New Session → Open a specific page or set of pages → Add a new page

Restart your browser and you’ll be greeted with your new start page.
