Which internet browser do you use and which site is your start page? I've seen people talking shit about Internet Explorer in the Shoutbox; I agree with you. I used Firefox before, but it started teasing so now I have Google Chrome. It's a good browser, but it's focused on simplicity so you can't have extensions. My start page is Google, obviously, and I think it's the best way to start.
I use Chrome. I just use the default start page that has the 8 sites you visit most. I open up about 12 tabs when I get on the internet, so getting those 8 right away really speeds things up for me.
I use Chrome and it starts with reopening the pages that were open last. Btw, I'm pretty sure you can have extensions in Chrome.
For the past couple months I've just been using my phone. Which kinda sucks. I did like opening my page and having all my pages just right there. I used firefox at the time. I liked it more than IE. Wasn't anything special though
been switching erratically between chrome and firefox for no good reason except that I'm not really persuaded either way. I used to like Firefox.
