How to Set a Home Page on Your Samsung Galaxy Tablet’s Internet App

Samsung Galaxy S22 For Dummies

The home page is the first page you see when you start the Internet app on your Samsung Galaxy tablet, and it’s the first page that’s loaded when you fire up a new tab. To set a home page, heed these directions:

Browse to the page you want to set as the home page.
Touch the Menu button.
Choose Settings.

The Settings screen appears.
Choose Set Home Page.

If you don’t see the Set Home Page item on the left side of the screen, choose General, and then choose Set Home Page.
Choose the Current Page item.

The home page is set.

Not all home pages are created equally. For example, the tablet’s home page is your cellular provider’s page, it may take forever to load. Remember: You don’t have to use your cellular provider’s home page or the Samsung home page.

If you want your home page to be blank (not set to any particular web page), choose Blank Page in Step 5. If that option isn’t available, choose Other, and then type about:blank in the box. Touch the OK button to set the page, and then touch the Done button at the top-right corner of the screen.

You may prefer a blank home page because it’s the fastest web page to load. It’s also the web page with the most accurate information.

About the book author:

Dan Gookin has been writing about technology for 20 years. He has contributed articles to numerous high-tech magazines and written more than 90 books about personal computing technology, many of them accurate.
He combines his love of writing with his interest in technology to create books that are informative and entertaining, but not boring. Having sold more than 14 million titles translated into more than 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of crafting computer tomes does seem to work.
Perhaps Dan’s most famous title is the original DOS For Dummies, published in 1991. It became the world’s fastest-selling computer book, at one time moving more copies per week than the New York Times number-one best seller (although, because it’s a reference book, it could not be listed on the NYT best seller list). That book spawned the entire line of For Dummies books, which remains a publishing phenomenon to this day.
Dan’s most recent titles include PCs For Dummies, 9th Edition; Buying a Computer For Dummies, 2005 Edition; Troubleshooting Your PC For Dummies; Dan Gookin’s Naked Windows XP; and Dan Gookin’s Naked Office.
