>so you type "mycoolpage.me.com" into the address bar and takes you there.< Typing is just like a navigation-action, like clicking a link. I see no difference. In the end, the home page is where you opened the browser.
In your example, typing to go to "mycoolpage.me.com" does not make "mycoolpage.me.com" your new home-page. Your home page is still the page that opened when your browser started. Same in Android: If i am in my application (activity) and i get a phone-call, the Phone- activity is shown. After the call, when i press back, my original application (activity) is shown again.
