IE8 - Open New Tab...

Come on MS. Last browser was very annoying with it's "what do you want
to do now" prompt. It should be obvious that we need to get to our
home page when we open a new tab.
Now I have to redig to find that setting that says 'when I open a new
tab, go to my home page'.
I know it's beta so let this be a suggestion: default to home page on
opening a new tab.

What is "redig"?

[Unless it's a blank home page, I certainly don't want a new tab to open to
my home page.]

Why would you always want to go to your home page when you open a new tab?

You are part of the "maybe" one tenth of one percent of people who may want
to do that. Microsoft designs for the majority (on a good day) - not for a
miniscule minority.

I don't want to go to my home page every time I open a new tab.
