When your browser starts up, what are you using for your home page?

I had been using iGoogle (the customizable front page by Google), but they are making some changes that I don't really like, so I have gone back to My Yahoo! which is the customizable Yahoo! front page.

iGoogle for me. I saw something about "the new..." but didn't pay any attention to it. They changed the layout of gmail recently but I've already gotten used to it.

I use the MyYahoo page instead of the generic Yahoo page....the MyYahoo page lets you customize it pretty much any way you want.

You can do the same with the iGoogle page, but I don't like the changes they are forcing, so I switched bak to Yahoo.
