Not easily. The "homepage" of a browser is the first URL the browser will
request when started. This then gets sent to the proxy.

What you can do in the proxy is to ignore the first URL sent by your users
per day and forcibly redirect them to your "default homepage", so even if
the user tries to go to gmail.com he will end up on your default page on
the first attempt. To do this you need a redirector helper which keeps
track of users already seen, and redirects users not seen earlier.
