The best access to Google™ Services and Websites

Description from store
Google recently replaced the Black Bar with an app launcher (the 3x3 grid icon in the grey bar), which allows you to access some preset Google shortcuts. The only downside is the fact you can't customize the shortcuts displayed in the app launcher.
That's where this extension comes in. It allows you to customize the app launcher and add more then 250 Google shortcuts. And it is not limited to these 250 Google shortcuts; the extension also allows you to create custom shortcuts to every website you want.
In the settings page, which you can open via the "Configure" button in the app launcher, you can define which shortcuts you want to display in the app launcher via drag and drop (hold your mouse on a shortcut in the left list, drag it to the right list, and release your mouse). You can add or remove all shortcuts via the two buttons below the left list. The settings page also allows you to filter the 250+ Google shortcuts via the searchbox and you can easily sort your selection via the "Sort A-Z" button.
If the shortcut you want is not available in the list, you can submit a google shortcut request via the "Suggest a new google Shortcut" button. If you want to add a non Google Shortcut, add a new one via the red "add custom shortcut" button.

- (2025-03-14) Mod Modster: great!!!
- (2025-02-27) João Paulo: Incredible!!! Please improve the interface so that when hovering over the apps, the background is highlighted, just like in the original Google app launcher. Currently, the highlight only happens when clicking, but it would be great if it were also triggered when hovering over the apps.

- (2024-11-01) Mike Haggstrom: Spams the history of the browser like this... chrome-extension://ponjkmladgjfjgllmhnkhgbgocdigcjm/views/embed.html?t... So devteam please fix this bug
- (2024-11-01) Dave Ferrise: Was a 5-star app but current version replicates pages in history at a fast pace, making history-based navigation difficult if not impossible. Once this is fixed I will change to 5 star. I have now temporarily disabled until this bug is fixed. If you click and hold over the back arrow in upper left-hand side of chrome you will see it add history pages repeatedly.
- (2024-11-01) Khỉ Flo: Very useful ! But now there's a bug so I have to deactivate if temporarily : it creates tons of elements in the History (like once every few seconds) which makes it almost impossible to get back to a previous page. I also assume it slows down Gmail and I had to delete my whole history with... almost 20 000 pages recorded ! Please fix this bug then I will activate the extension again. 😊
- (2024-10-26) mrnobodyx100: Thank you for an amazing app!
- (2024-10-14) Samuel Poulton: Great extension! The only missing feature is allowing the enter key to select/launch the app.
- (2024-09-27) Já faz parte do meu Chrome, facilita muito o dia a dia. I noticed that started to have a lot of entries from the G App Launcher at the navigation historical (ctrl+h). How can I prevent this? It's really hard to do a quick search at my historical.

- (2024-09-09) Carlo R Queirolo: Please, let me know why the extension fills my History with thousand of connections per day? This make my History page unusable. Thanks
- (2024-06-11) Shunyuan Chou: this extension uses a lot of browser CPU, don't know why?
- (2024-05-08) MansıV Rahman: why does it need to read my browsing history
- (2024-04-26) Khoa Nguyen: enough w the update pop-ups
- (2024-04-19) Kimchhe Oeung: Great extension and certainly an alternative to the default but can you add an option to put in our own links to other websites and not just google service. Great effort!
- (2024-03-16) Rick Malkin: Fabulous App in my humble opinion. Use it with all the browsers I use and just works magic.. Much thanks to the Dev..
- (2024-03-14) Andy Freauff: I use an extension that overrides the new tab page because I don't want to see my bookmarks bar on the new tab. The background on the new tab now doesn't include a the google apps icon. Not only can I now have my icon back in "toolbar" fashion, but I can customize which google apps appear on it. It took me trying a few different extensions that were outdated or just didn't load any apps before I found this one. AWESOME EXTENSION!!!
- (2024-02-04) Evgeny Opanasenko: Useful and Light
- (2023-12-14) e Howard Green: What is this, a repackaging of Shortcuts for google Still get it popping up when reopen Chrome. You reported that was fixed in shortcuts way back in 2021 or 2022.
- (2023-12-08) khoa nguyen: literally an update every other day or so. don't install unless you love meaningless popups
- (2023-11-13) CG: Stop opening a new tab every time it installs or updates - I DON'T CARE - this just needs to work when it's needed then gtfo of the way and stay hidden otherwise; you're not so important to warrant this malware-like pop-up; we don't need a life story from this extension, sit down.

- (2023-10-11) Maria Nova (Golden Space Catgirl): I really love your extension, as it made the clunky Google launcher actually pratical. A little report though, is that the menu sometimes randomly pop up for no reason... Is that a glitch? Otherwise, great extension.

The developer does a great job of supporting it, including responding quickly to questions or issues. I love this app so much! It's very handy. Plus, I've discovered a TON of google apps I didn't know about! Thank you for providing this!!!

- (2023-06-03) Dylan Gregori Singer (symmetricalboy): Okay, this is a really handy little launcher! It looks really really good, and I love that it even overrides the webpages that have the original official version of it. But possibly the best feature of this is... I just discovered like 30 Google apps I had no idea existed. So much wow. 😅

- (2023-01-21) Felipe Leal Dias: I love it, but for some reason the design doesn't look like whats announced here, with pointy edges and a more outaded look for some reason. Tried on different profiles with no other extensions allowed and also on other systems (mac and windows), so I guess it's not an issuo on my end.
