What is your homepage or what would you recommend?
What search engine do you use & what search engine would you set as the homepage?
I am thinking about changing my homepage right about now. Currently, it is search.yahoo.com, but recently there is something under the search box, “Earth’s Biggest Puzzles”, that is hard on my eyes & is a little annoying (because the search box is no longer in the middle of the page).
Thanks for any suggestions.
P.S. (I looked around the forum for a topic like this already & didn’t find one… Hopefully I didn’t miss it some place.)
This search engine is my favorite for privacy reasons: http://www.ixquick.com/
But to know what others are searching and in what ranking, home page = google
I also use google, but i block all it’s nosy parts for privacy…
Furthermore often used: Wikipedia (for research) and Metager² (no ip logging, but german only)

~lol~ I’m glad to see that everyone who posted was so energetic about the topic.
I am between Scroogle & the one polonus mentioned, perhaps alltheweb. Hhmm… but I am not sure what to think about Scroogle (https://ssl.scroogle.org/) just yet. I put in a search for “what are winlogon notifiers” or just plain “winlogon notifiers” both without the quotes & I didn’t see a definition or description about them… There was a lot of info about malware & trojans + removing them, though.
I will keep looking for more… I love a fast loading startpage. I like about: blank, but I wouldn’t put it on for my parents’ computers… (I did that before & they didn’t really know what to do when they didn’t see anything show up in the browser…)
I know this is an English speaking forum, but there is also much to be searched in languages you do not know.
How to do that read here: http://www.fravia.com/machine_translation.htm
Like quite a few others here, about:blank for my home page.
My primary search “engine” (actually multi-engine, it uses Google, Yahoo, and a few others) is Dogpile, although I can’t remember if that’s what I set as my browser’s default. And for looking up info that doesn’t have to be up-to-the-second, like historical data, I’ll quite commonly use Wikipedia instead (or too, sometimes).
