Okay, now that we've covered the why, let's get to the how - and don't worry, it's a breeze! First, you'll need to open up your Safari browser (or your preferred browser of choice). From there, click on Safari in the top menu bar, and then select Preferences - easy peasy.
Next, click on the General tab, and look for the Homepage field - this is where the magic happens. Simply type in https://www.google.com, and voilà, you're all set! You can also choose to set Google as your homepage when you start up your browser, or when you open a new tab - the choice is yours.
Now, I know what you're thinking - what about other browsers, like Chrome or Firefox? Don't worry, the process is similar, and I'll give you a quick rundown. For Chrome, you'll need to click on the Chrome menu, select Settings, and then scroll down to the Appearance section - from there, you can set your homepage to Google.
