WHAT THIS EXTENSION DOES
The purpose of this extension is to make the newtab page more useful for those of us who use a lot of bookmarks and dislike the way Chrome™ serves them. It overrides the new tab page and displays a grid of your apps and bookmarks.
It replaces your New Tab page with one that has BIG BUTTONS. It shows your installed apps and the bookmarks as you have organized them. You can also navigate through folders if you have your bookmarks organized in that fashion.
It also gives you quick access to Chrome™’s own History, Downloads and Bookmark manager instead of having to navigate through the wrench menu each time.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR STARTPAGE
Use the Bookmark Manager to organize your bookmarks in a way that you like them to appear on the startpage. If you need to, you can also do some editing of your bookmarks, but you will need the Bookmark Manager for more editing power.
Click on the Options link in order to customize the look and feel of the new tab page so it fits your needs. There is a set of predefined themes, but you can choose to manually adjust almost everything.
The top bar of the startpage shows you a list of the extensions that you installed plus any bookmarks that you put in your ‘Bookmarks Bar’ folder. So just place any bookmarks there that you want to appear in that bar.
The bottom container is a rudimentary bookmark browser that starts off in the ‘Other Bookmarks’ folder. You can even browse subfolders from within it. Arrange and organize your bookmarks any way you want them to appear.
If you use bookmark synching between i.e. your notebook and your home computer, the new page tab will look exactly the same on both devices (except for the installed apps).
