    I use the local weather as home page but you can just choose anything that might be helpful.

    You don't need their internet service to have the homepage.

    If you are looking for a news site for a start page when I don’t trust what I am hearing from traditional American news sources I go to Al Jazeera they usually have pretty reliable/balanced reporting.

    I have also heard good about 1440 but don’t know anything about them.

    If you are looking for a search engine I’ll have to get my list from work. There are about 50 different ones that Google suppresses from there searches.

    As far as home pages go, the weather channel works. Or even better a blank page at duck duck go.
    It makes no difference if you’re consuming CNN, Fox, BBC, DW, etc. Here’s a good rabbit hole:
    https://www.cato.org/commentary/how-national-security-state-manipulates-news-media
    If you see Cato Institute and your brain automatically recoils in horror as you think “far right! Yuck!” and shuts down before reading the article, congratulations, the programming has worked on you. Our news apparatus is not designed to inform so much as it is to manipulate, nor is it independent.
