How To Get Back Chrome’s old New Tab page




If you’ve upgraded to Chrome 31, you'll notice that the browser now only displays thumbnails of your four most-visited sites, and features the Google logo and a big search box.

The latter is rather unnecessary if you usually search from the address bar, and the logo just wastes space. To get back the old-look New Tab page, which had eight thumbnails, try the following trick.

Type chrome: //flags into the address bar and press Enter. Scroll down to the entry Enable Instant Ectended API, select Disabled from the drop-down menu and click Relaunch Now. This will restore the old New Tab page.
