What does this change? Why is this important? The google site loads fast and has forms on them which executes a lot more of the Gtk+ specific code than webkit.org.

So, I guess any other vendor site that fills these requirements will do. What about randomly picking up a site from a list? The loading time will be the average for these sites and it will execute much more code than any one site could do. One proposed list: http://debian.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/ http://en.opensuse.org/ http://novell.com/ http://apple.com/ http://microsoft.com/ http://redhat.com/ http://holoscopio.com/ http://gentoo.org/ http://gnome.org/ http://kde.org/ http://xfce.org/ http://kernel.org/ http://gnu.org/ http://fsf.org/

Comment on attachment 28689 [details] Patch with changelog Sorry, I fail to see what is broken with the current default and you didn't even bother to explain. google is loading fast, it is excercising native theming capabilities, no privacy besides IP address is disclosed...

Google as default home page is fine. Executing "more code" should not be the job of GtkLauncher. We have DRT for that already.
