I use MSN dot com but only because it has a direct link to hotmail. |

Pro 9391 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Any suggestions for a new Home Page? Personally I've never used a homepage with junk on it. I either have my homepage as a blank page or just generic google.com. I go to various sites for different news and have never liked the aggregate home page type stuff that give you small amounts of everything. |

I do a lot of image blocking and keep flash under tight control, so that helps prevent ads, etc. The entire format changed on me, instead of short blips of various news sections, I'm getting blips of about 30 different items (news, sports, entertainment, etc.) and in no particular order. What I really hate is that when I open it there is sometimes a full page video (advertisement) that covers the entire page! Have to then find out how to close it to see anything. So much advertising and crap, and now so difficult to find the items that use to make it a worthwhile, just not worth it. I have Fox News set up as a home page now, going to try that for a week, also looking at MSNBC, and the Economist.

Through options settings and image blocking and flash add-on management, I've still got mine looking like what I think you prefer. Mouse-over gives the first couple lines of the story usually...
