How to Set a Homepage in Google Chrome

If you set a homepage or multiple homepages on the Google Chrome web browser, Google Chrome opens them automatically when you run the Google Chrome web browser app. This feature is helpful if you need to keep a few web pages open all the time. Instead of visiting them manually each time you run the Google Chrome web browser, you can set these web pages as homepages on Google Chrome and save your valuable time.
