This is an alternative start page for Chrome.
On the main pane you will have your bookmarks taken from the Bookmarks Bar. To put new sites there, just bookmark the sites as normally - into the bookmarks bar.
Below it are the Chrome Web Apps. There is also a possibility to add your favorite news feed to the page.
This uses Flickr for the background photos. You can also specify your own background with an url.

FAQ:
Q: Where's the "recently closed tabs"?
A: It will there when it becomes available in Chrome extension API. In the meanwhile you can use Ctrl + Shift + T to re-open a recently closed tab. This is a faster method anyway.
Troubleshooting:
- Press Ctrl-R to refresh the page if something strange happens.
Some people have had trouble uninstalling this. There are many ways to uninstall a Chrome extension - at least two ways through menus, and one way on this very page.
Buzzwords: new tab, startpage, speed dial, rss, feed

- (2017-02-28) Greg: Edited review This extension recently updated and has changed everything I loved about it. I really don't like this new format. I'm going to have to start looking for a replacement if it stays like this. Edited review 02 After ikkah rolled back this to it's previous version and it now works like it did before. I've re-rated it at 5 stars

- (2017-02-27) Сергей Петров: Please revert changes! Icons without text are indistinguishable!
- (2017-02-27) Oleh Zorin: Верните старый стиль
- (2017-02-27) Андрей Петров: Верните прежний стиль! Лучшее враг хорошего!
- (2017-02-27) Vitalii Fedorenko: Please return the look of the bookmarks (favicons) as it was before, or add the description when you hover the mouse over it, for the apps panel it looks good.
- (2017-02-27) диман рамазанов: верните все как было !!!! с подписями. я по трехпиксельному значку не вспомню!!!!
- (2017-02-27) S҉p҉a҉r҉r҉o҉w҉: the icon is not vector, it looks so blurry and bad.
- (2017-02-27) Craig Prosise: Just updated to 2.0. It's only showing HUGE icons and no text w/icons. I guess it's time to find a replacement for this to be released without any testing.
- (2017-02-27) Luke Meeken: The plugin just updated, and now looks very, very bad. Favicons for links are stretched out and blurry (and stretched more horizontally than vertically), it gave me an alert that it wants read/write access to more things than previous versions, text in the bookmark bar is now too large leading to several elements being scrolled off of the screen, and a link/advert to some social network the creators are shilling has been added to the bottom. It's gone from a must-have to a total eyesore.
- (2017-02-27) Troy Roland: 2.0 looks bad with my bookmarks
- (2016-11-23) Max Ivaschenko: Жуть. Никакой иерархии. Тупо все папки с закладками раскрыла и вывалила мне их одним списком. Удобно если у тебя до 20ти закладок. Если 100+ это ужас.
- (2015-10-05) Robin Walter Piazzolla: Otroligt bra.
- (2015-08-21) Андрей Орлов: Закладки при создании новой вкладки и ничего лишнего. Как раз то, что я искал.
