If you’re like most people, you probably have a default home page on your computer. It’s the one that’s always there when you need it, and it’s usually the first thing you see when you open Brave. But if you want to change your default home page, there are a few things you need to do. First, open Brave and click on the gear icon in the top left corner. This will take you to a menu where you can choose which type of home page you want to use. If you want to use the homepage that was set up for your computer byBrave, then click on that link and follow the instructions onscreen. If all of your computers have different defaults, then it may be helpful to create a newBrave account and select a different default home page from there. Once you’ve chosen a new default home page, make sure that it’s set up properly so that everything is working correctly. If everything is working correctly but your homepage isn’t showing up on your computer or if some of your pages are not working at all, then please let us know and we’ll try to help out!
Like with all other web browsers, you can change the Brave browser’s home page to any website of your choice. This lets you open that site in the browser by just clicking the Home button. We’ll show you how to set this up.
To make a site your home page, all you need is that site or web page’s web address (URL). You’ll type or paste this address in Brave, and the browser will make it your home page.
