  2. Click the General tab
  3. In the Homepage field, enter your custom URL (e.g., https://nugs.gg/start)

2. Set your new tab and new window pages

Still on the General tab:

  1. Set New windows open with to Homepage
  2. Set New tabs open with to Homepage

Done

Open a new tab or new window. You should see your custom homepage. (If you haven't picked one yet, might we suggest nugs.gg/start? 😉)

Troubleshooting

Safari new tab page not working? Make sure both "New windows open with" and "New tabs open with" are set to "Homepage" (not "Start Page").

Safari settings not sticking? Close and reopen Safari after making changes.
