I had about:blank for years, but now I’ve created my own startpage. It loads super fast and takes me to wherever I want with only 4 keystrokes.
Too bad it doesn’t attract traffic.
You can check it out if you want.

Hmm. Kind of like AOL … 2.0! Heheh. I sure remember the time when ISPs (and BBSes, of course) insisted to have their own portals as your own “start page.” So now it’s still going to be a start page, but with your own customizable content.

Personally, I still prefer to launch all my browser sessions (whether FF, IE or Safari) with a blank page.
