Show Apps in new tab
This extension shows the apps overview when opening a new tab in Chrome.
Make sure to use Chrome version 84+ with this extension, otherwise the automatic selection of the locationbar text doesn't work.
Since Google updated Chrome to version 29, the App overview is no longer shown, when opening a new tab. This extension restores that behaviour to the way it was.
Tip: the keyboard shortcut CTRL+L (Windows/Linux) or CMD+L (macOS) highlights the URL.
v.3.0.0
* Upgraded to manifest V3. The rest of the extension code is exactly the same as version 2.1.0. Please bear in mind that the display of the apps is handled by internal Chrome code. This means that this extension has no influence over how that looks.
* Fixed a bug so that the address bar is highlighted again
v.2.1.0
This is the same as v.1.1.0, back by popular demand
v.2.0.0
Removed for now
v.1.1.0
Now automagically selects the URL, as many of you have requested.

For a long time this was the best solution to chrome removing the apps tab, as of version Version 116.0.5845.97 (Official Build) 8/18/2023 this app is totally broken as chrome removed the flag that allowed it to keep functioning. Seems the creator has abandoned the app as well.

I am a HUGE fan of this app. I absolutely love seeing all my apps in one place when I open a new tab. Thank you!

Love this extension. But I get some weird thing when using an extended monitor with my laptop: when a Chrome window is open on my laptop screen all works normally. But when I drag a Chrome window over to my extended monitor and click on an app icon, the link opens in another window (as if I had selected 'open link in new window', but I didn't). Any way to fix this? Just a bit annoying to have to always be dragging new Chrome windows back into groups.

I was hoping this extension would restore the app access in a new tab per the description....when i click on the extension it takes me back to the extension page....not what was advertised....so still looking for a solution to restore this feature.

Loved it forever, the omnibar doesnt even bother me because i love opening my tab to see all my apps. i do have one recent problem, which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. i switched over to a new laptop, and now the extension only shows chrome webstore. where did gmail, docs, youtube, sheets, etc. go???

This extension is either hijacking my machine to mine bitcoins or it is written with the most inefficient kind of code. Uses 110% of laptop power when enabled and Chrome is open. This makes absolutely no sense at all, what could it be doing besides its stated function?

Took most of my morning to discover this extension has now started injecting misc ads into my Google search - removed!

es fantastico
Simple. Does what it says it does. I wanted to display app view when opening a new tab - this does it perfectly. Very nice extension. Thank you.

Great app to hide those 8 obnoxious thumbnails that Google Chrome won't let us disable. Just move the apps onto the second page by dragging them to the right.

It doesn't work when I try to use it, and when I open a new tab all it says is "this site can't be reached. The web-page at chrome://apps/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new address.". It is very annoying and highly disappointing, especially after a review left on april 16, 2018 indicating that it still works

This extension completely got rid of the eight thumbnail boxes at the bottom of my Chrome home page, which I was really happy about since I wanted to be able to see my new theme I had just gotten so, YAY!(: But it also got rid of the Google sign when you load up a new tab, so I was a bit disappointed, but, hey, it works if you just want to see your apps with your theme when you load up a new tab.

This is pretty useful, needs the footer to be less in the way, though. Or gone.
