-- Sites (Apps) --
Home New Tab Page is a New Tab page replacement extension for Google Chrome. It gives you a productive dashboard that you can use to organize your browsing. Add your favorite websites (called apps) to the new tab grid of icons. You can choose from a built in gallery of apps by searching their names, also you can add any website by entering its url and specifying its icon by a link to the image, or uploading one from your computer. Home also lists your Chrome apps (mostly useful for Chrome OS users) as part of the grid. You can hide these Chrome apps, if you like. Right clicking any icon gives you the ability to open them in a new tab or remove them from the grid. A simply left click opens the icon's website in the current tab. To reorder the application grid, simply drag one icon and move it to its new position.
-- Notifications --
A couple services (Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook Mail, Facebook Messages) are checked regularly and if a new notification is found, a red badge will appear at the top right corner of the app's icon. This badge will show the number of unread messages for the given service. Navigating to one of those sites and reading the messages will make the badge go away (or if you only read some of the messages, and leave others unread, the count will update to how many messages are left unread). Please note that it takes some time (several minutes) for the count to update. You can manage the general fetch interval and turn off notifications for each service inside Settings.
There is also a Notification panel located on the bottom left corner (Bell icon). Clicking the Notifications icon will open the panel where you can see the 10 latest notifications in detail. These notifications contain a link, which you can use to navigate to the specific source. For example incoming Gmail messages or Facebook messages link to the individual message thread. In order to receive notifications, you have to be logged into those services inside your Chrome browser. You can simply navigate to their website and check if you're logged in. There is a button to Clear all notifications from the panel, if you'd like to keep it clean.
-- Quick Notes --
The left toolbar has a Quick Notes icon. Clicking it brings up the panel where you can type in any notes you'd like. You also have the ability to format the notes and paste any HTML formatted text into there. The Quick Notes and Notifications panels can be pinned to the Home dashboard, which makes them always visible and available at a glance.
-- Weather --
The left toolbar also has a Weather widget which always shows the current weather. The location is automatically determined using your IP address. You have the ability to change it to any custom location as well. Hovering your mouse over the Weather icon will bring up the Weather panel. Here you can change the units of measurement from Imperial to Metric (F to C, inch to mm, etc.)
The panel shows a 5 day forecast as well as a detailed view of today's weather. The humidity, UV level, wind speed and expected rain volume are all listed based on the current conditions. The 5 day forecast also shows nice icons to visualize the weather states like rainy, cloud, partly cloudy, windy, clear etc. To set a custom weather location, you simply click the city name at the top of the panel and enter your desired city name. It'll search the database of locations and you can select the one you'd like. To switch between Custom or Auto weather location, use the Location icon at the top left of the panel.
-- Bookmarks --
The left toolbar also has a Bookmarks icon. Clicking it brings up the Bookmarks panel. Your favorite sites will be listed here in a tree view, where you can expand folders to get to individual bookmark items. These bookmarks will have their favicons listed next to the website's name. Hovering over any link will show the url at the top left corner of your browser. Left clicking will navigate to the specific link in the current tab. You have the ability to search your bookmarks by clicking the top Bookmarks title of the panel and entering your search term.
-- Focus --
The focus mode icon is located near the bottom of the left toolbar. It switches the look and feel of your Home New Tab to a completely streamlined and clean state. Your clock and date will show in big bold letters at the center of your screen and you have the ability to type in a one-liner daily focus. This focus goal will show for every new tab you open. Your apps are still available from the left toolbar via an Apps icon. But they will no longer clutter your new tab so you can focus on that One important goal for the day!
-- Search --
Your Home New Tab Page features a quick and easy search box to navigate to websites that are not listed on your dashboard. The default search partner is Yahoo but you can always change the provider by clicking the icon left to the search box. This will bring up a list of providers to choose from (Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, etc). This extension has search partners to support its development. If you don't wish to use search at all, you can hide the search box inside Settings. Home also has the ability to index your history for quick navigation to visited sites through the search box. After you install the add-on you will be asked if you'd like this feature to be turned on or not. The search box shows suggestions based on what you entered.
-- Beautiful Backgrounds --
The very bottom of your left toolbar shows the Backgrounds icon. Clicking this icon will bring up the Backgrounds panel. From here you can select a wallpaper that you like. Home has a built-in gallery for this purpose. The Home daily backgrounds option gives you the ability to receive a wallpaper from the Home team *everyday (it's not guaranteed to be refreshed everyday, but we're doing our best ;).
-- Settings --
The most important icon on the left toolbar is the Settings. Here you can set general preferences like Time format, Temperature for weather, how often to check services for notifications and where to open your sites when you left click them on the grid (Current tab, New active tab, New background tab).
You can also set a custom wallpaper here from your computer, and set wallpaper effects for a total customization (stretch, tile, fill).
Settings also allows you to make a backup from your home settings and apps to a file that you can use to make sure your data never gets lost. You can also bring this file to a new computer, go to settings, hit import, and have your apps and settings ready to go. There is also a daily automatic backup that happens the first time you open your browser on a given day. So in case you did a change you don't know how to undo, simply restore from this Automatic backup the same day.
You can set the visibility of almost all elements on your Home new tab inside settings including left toolbar buttons, the date & time, search bar etc.
You can also change which notification services you'd like to enabled.
All changes made inside Settings are saved automatically. There is no need to hit any save button!
-- Help --
You can see the answers to the most Frequently Asked Questions if you click the Help button on the top right of your Home New Tab. Here you can see how to change your wallpaper, how to set Home as your homepage not just your New Tab, how to edit or remove apps, etc.
-- Uninstall --
To revert back to the default Google Chrome new tab, simply uninstall this extension visiting the following url: chrome://extensions/?id=ehhkfhegcenpfoanmgfpfhnmdmflkbgk
Then disable the extension (top right) or Remove with the link at the bottom of that page.

- (2025-07-12) Krrish Chheda: Unable to add custom links
- (2025-06-23) Ethan: This is the best New Tab I had ever used. The UI is clean & useful. I can upload a gif file as background and watch it without block by the search bar. I love the fous mode especially. It will be even better if it can resize the icon and put it by grid arrangement or anywhere on the tab.
- (2025-06-20) Anvi Sinha: im not able to use most of the apps that i use reguarly and dont get me started about the weather

- (2025-06-01) Emma Beal: It stopped saving my custom image icons. Drags the page, and is not customizable enough. Weather widget has NEVER worked.
- (2025-05-30) Michael McGrath: As others have reported, weather widget does not appear. Fix that, and I'd give another star. Nice background images, easy to add speed dial links. UPDATE: 10 days later, and multiple reinstalls, still no weather widget.
- (2025-05-26) MR ANDROID: this is by far one of the best extensions
- (2025-05-08) Astral: nice
- (2025-04-26) Mandi Parker: Worked well for a while and then rebooted my computer and all my saved links on the homepage were replaced with some random ones. Guess it was a software update that didn't save my preferences or saved links. Bummer.
- (2025-04-13) Matt Lassen: Cannot pick zip code for weather.

- (2025-04-10) Vladimir Roznos: Where's the weather widget? Doesn't show up for me.
- (2025-04-05) Ajay Edwards: It's OK. Not much in the way of customisation - and no easy way to let dev. know. It's responsive and easy on the eye.
- (2025-03-23) MAJOR FISH: THE BEST THERE IS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LOVE YOU AND A SALUTE TO THE BEST GOD BLESS.
- (2025-03-07) Mohsen Satvat: Brilliant, just beautiful, there is an option that caught my eye "Darker at night", really like your style. keep it up mate 😁👍

- (2025-02-09) Apollo: epic! not much else to say. i mean, i like how you can do a tile, fill or stretch option. cause i'm able to put an epic face as the background. just all, I'm getting at, this is awesome.
- (2025-02-06) jameel jutt: very nice app i love it .
- (2025-02-02) Songbird Aviation: Works great! I changed my default search engine to ChatGPT and lost my background photo and I thought I'd have to live with that. I downloaded this, and within about three minutes, I had my background restored! Awesome, thanks!
- (2025-01-08) David Glasson: Does everything you hope for, simple to set up and looks nice. no complaints
- (2024-12-28) Parzival Embro: @icefreezer VII There is. All you have to do is click the button next to the search box, the little icon that looks like a pencil and paper, and then you can change to google, yahoo, bing whatever you want. I enjoy how you can change the logo on the bookmarked sites, however I would enjoy it more if the search bar had a look that merged with the rest of the page a lot better.
- (2024-12-25) icefreezer VII: I like this extension. It really organizes my favorite sites. But I wish there was an option to set the search engine for the search box and put the sites into folders.
- (2024-12-23) Emeka Ezeibenne: I really like how it doesn't overwhelm you with too many options and it's just straight forward. also the picking of the preferred search is just good. I really recommend this
- (2024-12-17) M.AAHEEL MOHAMMED: This extension is awesome! It would be better if you could added more settings, like options to change the layout, customize quotes, and include a welcome message keep up the good work :D
- (2024-12-10) Виталий Минато: The settings are reset every time you open a new home page.
- (2024-12-10) Brian Prager: My review was as is below, but I am altering it based on new developments. The extension now changes on its own and has imposed ChatGPT AI where it used to be free of that. I, like others, go to a lot of trouble to keep AI out of my software as much as possible. How to revert or get the earlier functional version back without the controls imposed by automated gunk? The extension used to be customizable, but now forces users to use its photo wallpaper, cannot save settings, and so forces dimmed "night" colors, and imposes notifications from social media whether you want them or not. You cannot prevent it from loading Google calendar material into the front middle of the home page, and imposes a "Google Search" bar into the top middle of every new tab. Also, there is no support if you request it from the developer's reporting page. Previous review: I rely on it completely. It worries me that Google is currently threatening to disable it. My hope is that the developer is able to modify it in whatever way Google goons require without undoing what makes it so useful.
- (2024-12-09) Arman Mehbub 03: it is a very good extension. but after using half year, now, its setting is no working properly. especially the search bar on and off option. it automatically reset to the default setting. customization is not being saving properly by this extension. please fix it.
- (2024-12-06) Yousuf Raza - Just Digital: Excellent Chrome Extension. Highly Recommended!
- (2024-12-05) TheSlicingSword: Love this extension. However, recently the colors became very washed out.. is there a fix to this?
- (2024-12-05) TheSlicingSword: Love this extension. However, recently the colors became very washed out.. is there a fix to this?
- (2024-12-04) SiemprePalante77: So happy to have found this. I was using a different New Tab extension, which started to randomly crash, and took that as a sign to try something new. This is simple, yet provides everything I need (weather, time, bookmarks, etc.), seemingly lightweight and has a great UI. Awesome stuff. Thanks a mil. Can't wait to see how it develops.
- (2024-12-04) zefir: Can you move the time to the top of the search bar? This may be more aesthetically pleasing
- (2024-11-28) tony ripley: good so far easy to navigate thanks
- (2024-11-27) Thomas Lynch: Since June things have deteriorated down from 5 stars to 3...... when I hit + (new) my menu items are NOT displayed anymore I have to hit the Apps square on the left panel? Reported this directly months ago never heard back. Now for some reason ALL my apps and links and menu do not appear at ALL, a recent backup did not restore of fix this? Getting a little frustrated as now I have to build my pages of items from scratch so maybe time to dump and try somebody else? From June my review: I have been using for a while and love it. I added and setup a few new APPs and changed the background to my own. FOR SOME NEW REASON?? When I launch my webpages OR when I launch NEW home page the APPS are NOT displayed. I have to HIT the APPS ICON. This NOT what I have seen or how I want this to work?? I can't find a setting that I might have changed OR this might be a new 'feature' that I don't like quite frankly.

- (2024-11-27) Rimi Fakhri: I find it good, no lags.
- (2024-11-25) Fazbear Entertainment: Thank you for making it so Fazbear Entertainment can change their old screen. our workers are happy now. (I just wanted to write a review that Fazbear Entertainment would probably actually write. I'm a fnaf fan obv. but I actually like this either way.)
- (2024-11-22) Sophia Joyce: i love everything but please make it an option to pin the bookmarks and it will be perfect. thanks a lot
- (2024-11-09) caleb woerner: AMAZING!
- (2024-11-04) Olgun Kaçmaz: This is a fantastic new tab extension so far, I'm loving it. But I'd like it much more if the following can be done; - If I can group webpages together on the home screen like Opera allows it to do, - On Edge I can't connect with my Google Calendar with the home calendar feature, - If the users can batch add their own wallpapers and have them rotate either through selecting manually or have it automatically change by day or set timer etc. - Weather doesn't work for me unfortunately, it doesn't even show the weather button. - It would be nice if the home note feature can be integrated with Google Keep notes for example. So far this is fantastic by the way I'm using it both on my Chrome and Edge browsers. Keep it up. Edit: And also an option to switch the place of the vertical bar to the right hand side.
- (2024-11-02) BubbaSilly Imp: Amazing!
- (2024-10-28) Ulaş Günel: deserve this!
- (2024-10-26) Owen W: I love this new tab I can be super organised and add my upload a picture for the app i add to the menu if there is not one already set up for the app I also love the quick note feature so i can list down notes if i need to for school and other stuff and last but not least I like the the focus option so i can get something important done or do something new every day
- (2024-10-13) Chenkang Xu (Frank): It's great overall. Some suggestions: 1. Support URL like chrome://history/ 2. Auto fetch icons with their original links when the caches are not available, e.g., after CCleaner cleaned them up.
- (2024-10-08) XAQI arts: tried some tab extentions,but this one is the best and my favourite from now... they should try to add more features like GRID SIZE e.t.c...
- (2024-10-08) Joseph Genther: Works great. Glad I found this. I like the ability add my own apps (links to web apps), beautiful backgrounds, notes, weather, etc. Keeps your notes and alerts hidden until you need them, and even provides an easy shortcut to view bookmarks. I do turn off the search bar. I don't like the window and limited results and prefer the standard search bar with ability to change which search engine to use (Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Bing, etc.) Needs to be updated to be supported on the latest version of Chrome and variants.
- (2024-09-08) Leonardo Lauron III: This is the best one, i hope it gets updated so we can continue to use it.
