As I can see, the Webfreer website redirects to Google and because of that I cannot provide additional information as the website, in my opinion, has been discontinued along with the application.

A way to deal with this issue is to completely uninstall the application and then perform a new installation if you have the package. This way the settings will reset to default allowing you to perform additional customization.

First close WebFreer.

go to this location :
C:\Users\%user name%\AppData\Local\Web Freer\User Data

and then open "Local State" file with an editor like Notepad++.
search "chative.com" in this file and then replace it with "google.com".
save changes and close the editor.

then right click on the "Local State" file and go to Properties and in the attributes section click "Read-Only".

That's It. Now your homepage is changed to google.com

And:

This is the location in windows 7 but it is hidden and it should be change in view setting beforehand.

C:\Users\1\AppData\Local\Web Freer\User Data

 in "Local State" file can be either "chative.com" or "funvideo.ca"
 

This will change Homepage but unfortunately cannot change new tab "chative.com" or "funvideo.ca" which is so annoying.

You can also install "Block site" extension, and set any URL you wish to be redirected to about:blank or anywhere you like!
