How to Disable Google Chrome ‘New Tab’

Posted on the 03 October 2013 by Aearthr

Screen shot 2013-10-03 at 15.52.15 This is what I saw when I opened my Chrome browser in the morning.

And I hate it!

I always set my ‘New Tab’ page with Chrome Apps. Now it becomes this. A screen of  thumbnails of my usual sites and a redundant Google Search bar in the middle.

I can’t even figure out which is which in my most-visited sites with the small and snapshot-less thumbnails. If I want to Google something, I can type directly in the address bar aka omnibar. Not open a new tab to search in the voice-enabled search engine.

Lastly, I dislike the extra ‘Apps’ link at my bookmark bar. Moreover, there is no way to remove it in the ‘Setting’.

And lucky there is a solution to it.

Thanks to the comments in Techcrunch.

Type in chrome://flags/ into the address bar and you will go to this page.

Search (Cmd+f) ‘Extended API’ and set to disable.

And that’s it.
