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

Very useful, but when I re-order the displayed apps by drag'n'drop to how I want, the manual ordering is only kept for the remainder of that chrome session. If order is being kept in session storage, would be good to change that to local storage.

the apps would show in grey rather than color and they show as generic cubes rather than their usual icon shape.

This app made my day! For those who want to disable the thumbnail of the most visited pages in new tab, just add it to chrome and then move all the Apps of the first Apps page to second/other Apps pages, so that the first Apps page will be blank. Then activating the New Tab page will show your first blank Apps page and you can see the theme background.

It works. Slight nitpick is that it basically types "chrome://apps" in the URL bar which is a bit distracting but it may be a technical limitation of Chrome.
