Chrome mobile homepage

[stewa348]

Probably just me but can't see how to set home page in Chrome mobile.
Also don't like that Samsung pins bookmarks that I can't delete.

there is no home page to set. only bookmarks and new tab.

I posted this same reply in two other forum threads but I figured I'd cover all of them.

This reply is a bit late in the game but there IS a way to set a default home page for Chrome mobile, but only if your Chrome version has the Home button in the browser bar. Some versions/ devices DO have it and others don’t.

To set a default Home page, go into Settings and tap “Home Page (“On” or “Off”)” and then tap on “Open this page” and you can edit the URL for the page you want set as your Home page, and then hit “Save” of course.

That's it--easy but not obvious.

Its ironic that my version of Chrome has place to "Add Home screen" on pressing "Menu Button" but there is no place in setting to turn home screen off/on.... Chrome version 45.0.2454.94...

Ironically all the "Add Home Screen" feature does is create a direct link (widget) in main app screen to open Chrome to a specific site... Does not allow you to "home" totally within menu bar of Chrome...

This is what I have:




After setting up as per SaVvvV's post below, a tap on the home icon takes me directly to the forum I administrate

Mine doesn't have the home button setting either, although from Bosbouer's post, it seems to have been added with Lollipop. Owning a P600, I am still on 4.4.2 at the moment.

Correct. On our P5100 on 4.2.2 the exact same version of chrome does not have the "home" button

No home icon in my "Chrome" app, even same version number as you...
