This App Allows You to Set the Safari Home Page on Your IPhone or IPad.

Safari on mobile devices does not have a home page. This isn’t a big deal if you like the default New Tab page, which displays links to your favorites, tabs you have open on other devices, and a few more pages of recommendations. However, if you’d rather have your favorite search engine or landing page appear instead, you’ll need an app called Homepage . This tool is completely free and does one thing: it allows you to set your home page in Safari.

Open the app, enter any URL of your home page, and click Save. Simple, right? That’s not all: you need to enable the extension in Safari. Open System Preferences and go to Safari > Extensions . Here you will see that “Home Page” is disabled.

Click Home , and then make sure the Allow extension option is turned on. Then click “Open new tabs” and make sure the “Home” option is selected .

Now go to Safari and open a new tab. If everything was configured correctly, you should see the URL you selected instead of the default “new tab” page. Sure, it’s a simple thing, but if you want to see your favorite web page every time you open your browser, this is the best way to do it.
