Set your homepage in Chrome

Three quick settings. The first one is all most people need, and the second makes every new tab open it too.

Open it when Chrome starts

Open your homepage in new tabs Recommended

Chrome has no setting for this, so it takes my free New Tab Launcher extension. Every new tab opens your homepage, and it sets your homepage for you too.

Add to Chrome

Heads up: it looks a little dated. The Chrome Web Store's rules keep me from updating it right now, but it works just fine.

When Chrome asks Change back to Google?, click Keep it. Change it back turns the extension off.

Chrome asking to add New Tab Launcher: it can replace the page you see when opening a new tab and change your home page to besthomepageever.com
