Hi, I completely agree, changing the homepage to www.google.co.uk is one of the first things I do after I install openSUSE. If the homepage was, as Ubuntu's is, similar to google but with some openSUSE branding, I wouldn't even consider changing it. When I had Ubuntu installed I didn't think about changing the home page. 2010/1/9 Wolfgang Rosenauer <wr@opensuse.org>
Hi,
I would like to bring up a discussion again about what the browser startpage should be. I'm not convinced about the current startpage itself and also its integration into the browser (mainly Firefox in my case obviously).
Our current startpage is: http://www.opensuse.org/
Compare that with other distributions and the original Firefox startpage:
http://start.ubuntu.com/9.10/ http://www.google.de/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official (this is where it ends up from a mozilla.com redirect) http://start.fedoraproject.org/
I agree with all the others that a global web search should be on that startpage and it should be pretty simple. Our current startpage only invites people to change it anyway IMHO.
What do others think about it?
From a technical perspective I'm planning to change the Firefox startpage to load a local document which decides what page to load dependent on the online status because currently only an error page is displayed if Firefox is started offline with the current start page. I'm mentioning that explicitely because it would be nice if someone could design a page which should be shown when offline.
