It would be far more useful to have a 'home' button in your car.

I'd like a home button just under my left arm pit. Tap it and you're home. This is the future. Left handed people would have the button their right hand side.

Never on this computer. Sometimes at work, though, because I have it set to my company's website, which I frequently need to use for work. So you know, I'm on some other site, and I need to look something up, so I hit Home. I guess I could set it as a bookmark instead, but I'm kinda lazy about that.

I use it all the time, because I have it set to google.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 24 July 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

I do it quite often at work. Never at home.

once in awhile, when i want to look up something. my home page is just set so that i can read the headlines when i get online without exerting any effort.

my home page is always gmail so i go there a lot. im an alt-home person but only because im gay for keyboard shortcuts.

My now rarely used Internet Explorer browser has home set for Fark.com. It's kinda fun every once and awhile to go back and pretend like it's Spring, 2001.

With a googlebar built in my browser, I never go home.

― Tumililingan (ex machina), Sunday, 24 July 2005 19:10 (twenty years ago)

Never, because it only updates once each day, and I check it when I open a new browser window in the morning. It's provided me with some cool desktop images. (Astronomy Photo of the Day)

July 15 is my current desktop picture.

noice!

haha NASA = no.1 when you google "home"

― mark s (mark s), Sunday, 24 July 2005 22:03 (twenty years ago)

all the time at work (set to intranet), never at home.

― kit brash (kit brash), Sunday, 24 July 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

never. I removed it.

― älänbänänä (alanbanana), Sunday, 24 July 2005 22:34 (twenty years ago)

all the time, it's set to yahoo. i don't like google cuz it's too bare, and I'd miss yahoo's passive aggressive liberal bashing headlines

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Monday, 25 July 2005 00:59 (twenty years ago)

Mine's set to Yahoo too. I have the Google toolbar for when I need to Google.

― o. nate (onate), Monday, 25 July 2005 01:23 (twenty years ago)

I use mine constantly cos it's set to Google.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Monday, 25 July 2005 01:30 (twenty years ago)

to clarify my answer, i always set my home page to blank

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 25 July 2005 01:35 (twenty years ago)

also, i use firefox w/built-in google search (or safari w/same)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 25 July 2005 01:35 (twenty years ago)

I have the google bar on my Firefox too, but I never use it, in part because it doesn't include the image search option.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Monday, 25 July 2005 01:42 (twenty years ago)

You can add it, y'know. I've got Google, Google News, Google Images, Froogle, Wikipedia, IMDB, AllMusic (artists, songs and albums) and six or seven others I don't use as much.

― Truckdrivin' Buddha (Rock Hardy), Monday, 25 July 2005 01:45 (twenty years ago)

sometimes i find it easiest to use the search bar and then just click "images" on the results page!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 25 July 2005 01:58 (twenty years ago)

Only when I'm trapped in a page that isn't loading and I know the back button is an even harder to load search page. Home is my reset button.
