3. Arrive at Google search engine home page.
4. Go to toolbar at the top of browser, and click on "Tools", then "Internet Options".

How to Change Your Google Chrome Home Page

1. On the Google Chrome browser toolbar, click the icon that looks like a wrench.

You can set your home page with any website you prefer, you can add the "Home" button to your Chrome browser toolbar so you can access that page at any time, and you can also select if you want your home page to be the page that automatically starts up when you initially open Google Chrome.
