Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Make sure to use Chrome version 84+ with this extension, otherwise the automatic selection of the locationbar text doesn't work.

Since Google updated Chrome to version 29, the App overview is no longer shown, when opening a new tab. This extension restores that behaviour to the way it was.

Tip: the keyboard shortcut CTRL+L (Windows/Linux) or CMD+L (macOS) highlights the URL.

v.3.0.0

* Upgraded to manifest V3. The rest of the extension code is exactly the same as version 2.1.0. Please bear in mind that the display of the apps is handled by internal Chrome code. This means that this extension has no influence over how that looks.

* Fixed a bug so that the address bar is highlighted again

Super useful fix for a huge Google misstep. Works as it should in Windows, but does not autoselect what's in the URL box in Ubuntu. Have to backspace out "chrome://apps" before I can search for anything.

Beautiful. Thanks! [Edit: -1 star, does not auto-select text on OS X]

Doesn't seem to be working anymore. I checked and I have it enabled, but it only worked the first day I had it. Any advice?

This is pretty seriously awesome. Now I can ACTUALLY SEE THE DEFAULT NEW TAB PAGE!

No Idea why this was changed by The Chrome Devs, the apps are infinity more useful than what is essentially bookmarks (I use the bookmarks bar) and a search line (I use the URL/Search bar) Why 'implement' two things which already existed?

カスタマイズ性は全くないが、カスタマイズできるものよりレスポンスがよく感じる 今のところオススメ

Excellent! As some others have already commented it would be even better if the url can be cleared and selected by default. Anyway I'm getting used to CTRL+T CTRL+L.
