Make bigCOMMUNITY Your Launchpad: How to Set Us as Your Homepage

How to Set Us as Your Homepage

When we set out to build bigcommunity.us locally out of our own hardware, the vision was clear: to create an independent sanctuary away from the corporate noise and blinding digital chaos. A space where we can reflect on scripture, build independent commerce, and trace God’s quiet connections together.

But a community only thrives when we stay tethered to it.

Today, we are launching a new campaign to make bigcommunity.us the launchpad for your digital day. We’ve added a lightning-fast Google Search bar right at the top of our homepage that opens results in a separate tab. By setting our platform as your browser’s default homepage, you block out the corporate media algorithms and ground your internet browsing in a space of faith, unity, and fellowship every single time you open your device.

Here is your step-by-step guide to making the bigCOMMUNITY your default home screen across all major browsers.
