This isn't a "default", it's a changeable setting.

I have a Win PC and not a Mac but the configurability should be similar. When I open Chrome, there are three dots in a horizontal line at the upper right. Click on this and then click on Settings. If the Settings choice appears elsewhere or in a different appearance, find it. One of the settings visible to me says "On Startup". Choose that, choose "Open A Specific Page", enter whatever URL address you want as your home page, and that's what you'll see each time you start Chrome. Report back if you weren't able to make that entry.
