How to set your browser's homepage on a Mac, with instructions for Safari, Chrome, and Firefox
How to set your homepage on Safari
This will only take a minute or so:
1. Open Safari.
2. In the top toolbar, click "Safari" and then "Preferences."
3. If necessary, toggle over to the "General" tab, then write your desired URL in the "Homepage" field. If you're on the page you want, simply click "Set to Current Page."
If you want each new window to open on your homepage, you can set that up through the same preferences window you used to set your homepage. You'd just need to click the "New windows open with" pop-up and then select "Homepage."
The same goes for making each new tab open on your new homepage selection.
