Switch Back To Chrome’s Old ‘New Tab’ Page With A Quick Tweak

Switch Back To Chrome’s Old ‘New Tab’ Page With A Quick Tweak

Google recently updated Chrome with a new “new tab” page that shows all your most visited pages every time you open a new tab, and needless to say not everyone’s excited to see their most viewed sites every time they open a tab. Thankfully, Computerworld shows you how to switch it back.

It’s not just the obnoxious most visited pages tab that’s annoying in the new “new tab” page. It’s also a redundant search bar and the fact “recent tabs” are hidden away. You can switch back to the old view easily though:

  1. Type chrome://flags into the address bar.
  2. Search for the option labelled “Enable Instant Extended API”.
  3. Change it from “Default” to “Disabled”.
  4. Restart Chrome.

That should fix the problem and get you back to the old Chrome “new tab” page.
