Description from extension meta

This extension shows the apps overview when opening a new tab in Chrome.

Image from store Show Apps in new tab
Description from store 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.

  • (2023-08-18) Whitepaw Rolls: 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.

  • (2023-06-23) Otto Meyer zu Schwabedissen: Used to be great, but the new design is MUCH worse
  • (2023-05-03) Olga H: Installed this on many of my computers
  • (2022-11-03) Ruth Idzik: 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!
  • (2022-07-25) Nick Barr: 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.
  • (2022-03-31) Ron E. Armstrong: 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.
  • (2021-08-23) Jenna Yong: 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???
  • (2021-04-16) VaporeonVortex: Totally broken. doesn't even work.
  • (2021-02-19) Cap'n Chaos: It does not work when i click the extension
  • (2021-01-11) Nate: 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?
  • (2019-07-18) Éric Moreau: does what it says
  • (2018-08-21) Justin Harvey: Took most of my morning to discover this extension has now started injecting misc ads into my Google search - removed!
  • (2018-07-31) Sarah Sanchez: es fantastico
  • (2018-06-25) Mohammed Ali: 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.
  • (2018-06-06) Jorge Gómez: 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.
  • (2018-05-29) UwU Zone: 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
  • (2018-05-13) haj shalan: nice i like it
  • (2018-05-05) whole product: omitofo
  • (2018-04-16) Abigail Begenzer: 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.
  • (2018-04-06) Thomas Leisle: Perfect! Thank you. You think like me. ;)
  • (2018-03-16) Roger Pack: worked, FWIW.
  • (2018-03-06) Keg Stahand: This is pretty useful, needs the footer to be less in the way, though. Or gone.
  • (2018-02-05) Josh Klapperich: i cant undo it
  • (2018-01-19) mobile team 49: cute
  • (2017-12-30) It did not work and opened as an error page
  • (2017-12-01) Faridul Hassan: very good :)
  • (2017-11-19) Ilya Lapin: Thanks for fixing address bar selection issue!
  • (2017-11-17) Laurence: Love it so far.
  • (2017-11-14) John Palacio: Really helpful, thanks.
  • (2017-11-08) Shaun Henderson: It doesnt work, when you click on it, it just goes to this page (the one you're looking at now)
  • (2017-11-07) Mason Hynds: As many have mentioned, the URL bar is no longer highlighted when opening a new tab. I have put up with this for several months, but I can't handle it anymore. I have disabled this extension and won't be using it anymore until it is updated.
  • (2017-11-05) Erik Ferner: After opening a new tab, the address bar contains "chrome://apps/", but that text is no longer selected (it used to be). Quite annoying when you want to open a tab and type in an address right away.
  • (2017-10-20) Jason Yeh: Needs to clear the search bar when tabs are open.
  • (2017-10-18) Emma Grose: Thank you!! Now my theme actually is able to be seen. AWESOME!
  • (2017-10-10) Artem Marchuk: Leaves URL with chrome://apps/, which you need to remove manually before typing your search query. Thus makes it unusable, removed within a minute of use.

  • (2023-08-05, v:2.1.0) Whitepaw Rolls: No longer working
    This works fine if you have it already installed, but recent update broke it for fresh installs.
  • (2023-07-05, v:2.1.0) Gideon van Melle: are you able to fix chrome:/apps layout as it was intended?
    Google changed the view of the chrome://apps window to black with small icons. Can't even add items to it anymore.
  • (2023-07-02, v:2.1.0) Brigitte W.: What changed? How do I change it back?
    I've been using this for years, and suddenly today the page has a black background and sites saved are small. As I haven't the best eyesight, this is difficult for me. I inspected the source code, and the color has changed to "dark." Changing it "light" was not allowed. Thoughts and recommendations?
  • (2022-07-22, v:2.1.0) Whitepaw Rolls: Show Apps in new tab
    Having issues with this extension recently. For some reason I can't arrange the apps/icons the way I want. They seem to go where they want and they do the exact same thing on all computers.

  • (2021-04-18, v:2.1.0) Synced Chrome to new computer, only Chrome Store shows in New Tab
    As mentioned above, when I Synced my Chrome to a new computer, the new tab only showed the Chrome Web Store app, but none of the others. I tried updating the app, but it didn't fix it either. It still works fine on my old computer. Is this a bug, or did Google bork something?

  • (2020-06-12, v:2.1.0) Martin Elsigan: Address bar not focused when opening new tab
    Since last Chrome update, my address bar is not being focused anymore when opening a new tab. Pretty please fix it. This is super annoying.
  • (2020-06-05, v:2.1.0) Dario Barbone: Cursor in search bar
    Hi! Cursor does not appear in search bar anymore when opening a new tab. Equals two extra clicks to bring it there and start typing. Can it be fixed? This broke recently. Maybe it was for an update to Chrome?
  • (2020-05-29, v:2.1.0) Steffen Trog: Fix URL not highlighted (or just go open source)
    As of Chrome 83, the URL bar is no longer highlighted when opening a new tab. Removing this extension from chrome restores this behaviour, but that's clearly not desired. Please open source the extension. (I did not find the repo after checking your GitHub page.) If you don't want to do this for some reason, please fix the above issue instead.
