Can I set a search engine as my homepage?

Yes. Under Homepage, enter the search engine's web address instead of a regular site, and Chrome will load its search page every time you tap Home.

Will my custom homepage sync to other devices?

Homepage settings are tied to the Chrome app on this device and are not part of Google account sync, so you need to repeat the steps on each phone or tablet.

What if the Homepage option looks greyed out?

This usually means the Home button itself is disabled. Enable the Show Home button toggle above the Homepage entry first, then the custom web address field becomes editable.

OnePlus: Set a Custom Chrome Homepage

If Chrome always opens to the same news feed with shortcuts and suggested articles when you launch it, the browser is using a preset homepage instead of a site you picked yourself. On OnePlus phones this default start page ships active out of the box and keeps loading until you override it. You can swap it for any web address you actually use every day.

Change Default Homepage in Chrome auf OnePlus

OxygenOS ships Chrome with a curated feed as the default homepage, mixing shortcuts, suggested sites and news snippets. This page loads whenever you tap the Home icon in the browser toolbar, which is a different control from the New Tab page you see when opening extra tabs.

Changing the homepage does not change what appears when you open a fresh tab from the tab switcher. It only affects the page Chrome jumps to when you press the Home button, so if your goal is to change what every new tab shows, look at the startup or New Tab settings instead.

To set your own homepage, follow this path: Open the Chrome app ➔ Open the menu ➔ Open the Settings ➔ Tap on Homepage ➔ Check Enter a web address ➔ Enter a web address ➔ Tap on Back.

Once saved, the Home icon loads your chosen address immediately, and the change stays until you edit it again or reset Chrome to factory settings, which restores the original feed.

Frequently asked questions

No. The Homepage setting only controls the page Chrome loads when you tap the Home icon in the toolbar. New tabs opened from the tab switcher still use Chrome's separate New Tab behavior.
