I'm having a hard time understanding how not being able to set the home page makes a browser unusable! Seems far superior to have a new window open with no content (the speediest possible case), and put the "home page" in a button for 1-click access those times when that's where one wants to go.

Go to OmniWeb's preferences, click on the General icon, click the radio button next to the blank field for Start Page URL, put the URL of the desired home page in, and enjoy watching every newly created window open that page... If you customize your toolbar, there's a Start Page button you can add to jump to that page as well.
