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

    Drew1903 Like I said, It's a workaround if you don't want to wait for them to add it.
