How To Make Msn My Homepage In Google Chrome

To make MSN your homepage in Google Chrome, you need to understand there are two distinct settings: the Home button page and the Startup page. This article covers both methods for desktop computers (Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook) and also explains how to set MSN as your homepage on Android.

Set MSN as your startup page on desktop

This setting controls which page or pages open automatically when you launch Google Chrome. To make MSN appear every time you start the browser, follow these steps:

Open Chrome.
Click the three vertical dots (More) in the top-right corner, then select "Settings".
In the left panel, click "On startup".
Select the option "Open a specific page or set of pages".
Click "Add a new page" or "Add".
Type https://www.msn.com into the field and confirm.

Now, whenever you open Chrome, MSN will load automatically. You can add multiple pages here if you want several tabs to open at launch.

Set MSN as your home button page on desktop

The Home button is a small icon (usually a house shape) that appears to the left of the address bar. Clicking it takes you to your chosen homepage. To set MSN as that page:

Open Chrome.
Turn on the "Show Home button" toggle.
Select the option for "Custom web address" or "Enter custom web address".
Type https://www.msn.com into the field.

Now, clicking the Home button will instantly take you to MSN. This is separate from the startup page, so you can have both settings active at the same time.

Set MSN as your homepage on Android

On Android devices, you can set a custom homepage that opens when you tap the Home icon or start a new tab. Here is how to make MSN your homepage on Android:

Open Chrome on your Android device.
Tap the three vertical dots (More) in the top-right corner, then tap "Settings".
Under the "Advanced" section, tap "Homepage".
Choose the option for a custom page and enter https://www.msn.com.

Your Android Chrome browser will now show MSN whenever you tap the Home icon or open a new tab, depending on your device's configuration.

Troubleshooting: when your homepage won't save

Occasionally, your homepage setting may not stick. This can happen if unwanted software or browser extensions override your preferences. If you find MSN keeps being replaced by another page, you may need to check for unwanted program changes that alter your browser settings.
