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

I like it, but it annoys me that the chrome://apps is highlighted. It could be just me though...

Why does this need to view browsing history, just curious.

Does not work saying: This site can’t be reached The webpage at chrome://apps/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

I really love this extension. I can easily access the apps I use the most, plus I can see my theme a lot better. Thank you so much for making this!

It's a good extension, but with my overwhelming OCD of trying to perfectly display my theme, the apps bar on the bottom is quite irritating. (Is there any possible way to rid of it?)

I added to my new chromebook and it is not working at all. When I click on it, it says "This site can't be reached".
