What do you mean by "homepage"? Isn't that a browser function and
nothing to do with the OS?

In what way is Mint/Cinnamon interfering with what you want?

This really depends on your ability to note how many times
per month, the software is getting automatically updated.

On Ubuntu for example, the SNAPS just wander in whenever they
feel like it.

Now, when a software updates itself, it has an opportunity for
"first run code". And the first run code, can trample over
user preferences and put whatever the hell they want in there.
Naturally, your choice of homepage string, that has to be
urinated upon. It's only fair.

Clearer ?

It's called end-user abuse by the way. To be doing that.

One of my favorite (very favorite) examples, is the screen
blanking timer. On more than one platform, the fascists
set your timer to ten minutes, you set it to some other
value, the next time you check, it's ten minutes again.

They do it under cover of darkness, they "pretend" that
every time a video driver is changed, the user-selected
timer must be <cough> "fixed".

The most egregious case of abuse, came when I was
running a hardware diagnostic on something. Maybe it
was a USB port. And as the diagnostic was finishing, I
notice printed on the screen "Hey, we noticed your screen
timeout is wrong, and WE SET IT BACK TO TEN MINUTES FOR YOU CHUCKLEHEADS".
Now, this is a diagnostic that has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FUCKING SCREEN :-)
You see, it doesn't get much finer than that. Imagine if
you were paying to be treated that way.

When somebody tells me their homepage string was modified,
this is my surprised face...

Fight? What do you mean?

I've not had any ff updates trample on my homepage on either 20 or 21
(though perhaps I should check again ...)

I should have been clearer. When chromium comes up it displays a Linuxmint start page.

I want a conventional google.co.uk page.

Settings offers me Yahoo! Startpage or duckduckgo. That is it1

I want a conventional google.co.uk page.

Use Firefox if you want a choice of your homepage. If not keep using
Chromium and accept what you get.

So then set it. The package just has some default picked by the
devteam to keep the browser happy after install.

That'd be as a "search provider", not "homepage". That being said, I
remember mint removing google (and many others) from the "upstream
options" because they tend to not respect privacy.

I don't use or installed chromium but you can find a lot help if you
google for it. Maybe this one?

If you use Chromium on Cinnamon Mint 21.1 you will see that its homepage is a customised one. The screen that comes up is Linuxmint "Enhanced by google".
But it is horrible. I want a regular homepage as in https://www.google.co.uk"

Why does this require umpteen column inches?

That's Microsoft Edge which is based on chromium just line Google Chrome. It's not the chromium browser that is in Linux.

No idea, and I'm not going to install it to find out. I wouldn't let
Chrome or Chromium anywhere near my laptop. If I have to use a
Chrome-type browser, I use Vivaldi, and that's pretty rare. I'd also
look at Brave as an alternative if Vivaldi became unsuitable. Pale Moon
is my usual browser, and it works 95% of the time. For the rest, I use FF.

So I installed chromium on a LM 21.1 VM (chromium
120.0.6099.109~linuxmint1+virginia)

Default page was https://linuxmint.com/start/virginia

Went to Hamburger Menu -> Settings -> Appearance (Left-hand navbar)

In the "Show Home Button" section, changed the listed URL (above) to
slashdot. That now takes me to slashdot.

Likewise, opened "On Startup" (left hand navbar) and changed the start
page from https://linuxmint.com/start/virginia to slashdot. Restarted
chromium and it went straight to slashdot.

Took like maybe 30 seconds after starting it up ...

Microsoft Edge is installable as a native Linux program. I was surprised they made a deb file for it. It works I think
very good. I play with a copy just to see what's going on, but I don't use it for more than an occasional web game or
the evening paper.

Wait, are you looking at the "SEARCH PROVIDER" settings? That only
effects what provider(s) are shown in the "Search" bar to the right of
the address bar (and/or the address bar if you just type in something
that isn't a URL).

That has no bearing on your "homepage" (or the "startup" page).
