Changing the Google Chrome homepage makes a different page open when you press the Home button in Google Chrome.

The Home button is the house icon located in the top-left corner of the browser window beside the refresh button.

Typically, the default homepage is the New Tab page, which gives you quick access to recently visited websites and a Google search bar.

While some users find this page useful, you might want to specify another particular URL as your homepage.

Google Chrome Set Default Page Update Google Chrome

You can update Google Chrome manually for free if you are running an older version.

Open Chrome and select the menu button located in the top-right corner of the window.

In the Search settings box at the top of that screen, type home.

Select the option beside Enter custom web address and type a URL into the text box so that Chrome will open the web page of your choice when you press the Home button.

After you change your homepage, you can continue using Chrome normally since changes are saved automatically.

The steps above are for changing the homepage in the Google Chrome browser, not for changing which pages open when Chrome starts.
