Thanks for the response.
But this (I think) opens a new blank tab, which is not what I want.  I 
like having my homepage (google) loaded in each new tab, and I want it 
(and not the location bar) to be focused.  I just want the location bar 
to remain blank (just like when I first start epiphany) so that if I 
decide not to use google, I can do so easily.

Anyway, sorry if this is rehashing old arguments.
