I want multiple homepages [*not* start pages] in Chrome? w/o JavaScript!

September 4, 2013 9:10 AM

Hi all, I've done my research and cannot see how Chrome multiple homepages works. I thought that I did have multiple homepages up until recently so I believe this is doable, and I cannot use javascript [locked down work PC], only tweak settings. Have you done this? Can you teach me?

This is where my home button should go:
http://www.google.com/calendar/render?mode=day&date=20121101&andrandomlogingobbledegook|http://www.example.org.uk/|https://simple-note.appspot.com/

but it only goes to google calendar :(

Type chrome://settings/startup in the address bar and hit enter. This will bring up the popup you need.

Response by poster: Interesting, but that is for *start pages*, yeah? Note the difference between start and home pages.

Response by poster: And I have realised that the reason I think I had multiple *homepages* [where the browser goes to on hitting the home button] is because the same pages are my start pages. So I can get 4 tabs open to different pages on start up, but those pages do not re-open when I hit the home button. But I want them to, godammit.

You could make a bookmark folder with the pages you want to open and then right click to choose 'open all'. Not the same, but maybe a work around?

Response by poster: blue_wardrobe: interesting, I found that on the first page of my research. However, that involves JavaScript which I cannot use (as I said upthread).

If you put a folder in your Bookmarks Bar and middle-click it, Chrome will open all the bookmarks inside in separate tabs.
