Two settings on the same page: one for when Brave starts, and a recommended one for new tabs.

Open your homepage in new tabs Recommended

  1. In Settings, pick Appearance.
    Or paste this into the address bar: brave://settings/appearance
  2. Turn on Show home button, click the empty address box below it, and paste .
  3. Back in Get started, scroll down to New Tab Page and set New tab page shows to Homepage.

Brave's Homepage option opens the home button's address, which is empty until you set it, so it takes both parts. You get a Home button in the toolbar too.

Startup page, new tab, and homepage

Brave keeps these in three separate places, which is why changing one often looks like it did nothing:

  • On startup: what loads when you open Brave. That's the setting in Step 1.
  • New tab page shows: what loads on every new tab. Separate dropdown, further down the same Settings screen.
  • The home button: where the toolbar's home icon takes you, and what New tab page shows → Homepage opens. Brave leaves its address empty, which is why picking Homepage for new tabs on its own changes nothing.

If you want one page everywhere, give On startup and the home button the same address, then set New tab page shows to Homepage. Steps 1 and 2 above do exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Brave have a homepage setting?

Yes, though it isn't labelled "homepage." Open Settings and look under Get started for On startup, then choose Open a specific page or set of pages and add your address.

Can I set more than one startup page in Brave?

Yes. Click Add a new page again for each address. Brave opens all of them in separate tabs at launch. Use current pages also works, but it saves every tab you have open right now, this guide included.

Why does my new tab still show something else?

The startup page and the new tab page are two different settings. Brave's Homepage option for new tabs opens the home button's address, which is empty until you set it under Appearance. Set that address, then set New tab page shows to Homepage; that's Step 2 above.

You're all set
