New Tab go to home page
Dan203
Dan,
We have been asking for the ability to set a URL on NTP since April. Whether it be the same as ones Home page or another page, as long as the User can pick it. Would be great to have.
On the bright side, at least we have the daily photo back again
Cheers,
Drew

The home page idea cjc2112 mentioned is actually good.
also not sure how bing pics are relative here but in January, according to top feedbacks list, we should be able to have the ability to set any pic we want for NTP, not just daily bing pic.

Drew1903 Think I found a slight workaround. You can change your home button to a custom URL, and whenever you need a new tab, Ctrl click the home icon. Probably not worth the hassle, but if someone feels that they want it right now, here's an option.

That's an idea, sure. But, it would not help towards what you're wanting if opening from the taskbar, jumplist or start; only the Home button would do it using an, already, open browser window. And, actually, can do it, now, already. Since the Home button IS ones Home page, if it is hit with the middle (3rd) mouse button (its wheel) that will open a New Page which, will, indeed, be the Home page, again.
Ever since April we've been saying it's not consistent if the NTP doesn't match the Home page. Let alone people wanting to customize it to whatever page or site. Alas, still, cannot. Send the request to Feedback. Building & modifying isn't stopping.
Cheers,
Drew
