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

Is it possible to display recently visited websites in front of the page of the apps like the original tab page was?

Great! With this, I got rid of the very annoying thumbnails of visited sites, it comes up with every new tab opened. I recommend it for those that have privacy concerns with thumbnails.

Thank you! I hated having to click on the "apps" button in the bookmarks bar to get to my apps. This greatly resolves the issue.
