I'm just embracing Microsoft's "Where Do You Want To Go Today?" buzz phrase.
I almost always open my browser with a purpose, and that purpose is not often the same. I've just never felt the need to load a particular page automatically. Setting browsers up this way became a part of my routine long ago, and I never had a reason to change.
When I set machines up for others, I usually point them at google .ca.

One thing I never got, was what was the point of having region specific websites?
I'm able to goto google.ca as well as any other google domain. Should it not let me or something? I guess I've never understood? Can other countries not access our .com's?

I would imagine the primary reason is to stop someone else registering one of those region-specific URL's.

Well that makes sense to. Maybe I'm an idiot and never thought of it.
I love the new Google themes, really cool. Google just offers alot, although if I didn't have google I'd have Yahoo as my default.

google.ca has the ability to search "only Canadian sites", and news.google.ca has a larger dose of Canadian news. I'm sure other country-specific domains follow this pattern, though I've never looked.
To understand the larger reason for the country-specific top-level domains, you would need to read some internet history.

Re: What's your Start Page?
Let's not forget that some countries have official languages, and some of these are not English.

about:blank. My bookmarks take me where I want to go, not my homepage.

Yea, I'll be 6 yo in a few months. LOL
It's my awesome kid.
Protopage lets me post pics, use RSS feeds, other websites (I'm using it with Game-Monitor.com to see the TG POE2 server) and links of course. It does a lot of other things too, I just use a small number of it's features.
