Sexy New Tab Pages for Google Chrome
Yes, I think I have used the correct word, “SEXY” … you will know when you look at screenshots. You can’t ignore these screenshots from the dev version that I am using, and mind you, this is the best part of using google chrome dev version, I can show you the latest, with screenshots, even before they are ready, for the rest of the world, you are lucky !!

When Google chrome was introduced few months back, people didn’t quite like the new tab pages showing most visited websites. There was no option to edit thumbnails displayed there. Then they introduced thumbnails editing and removing … now, the new tab page has become sexy, you will no longer want to remove that.
You can
- Hide Thumbnails
- Show them as a list instead of thumbnails
- Hide Recent Activities ( tabs you closed recently, your last session )
- Hide Recommendations
- Drag and Drop thumnails and re order them the way you want !
Now, that’s more freedom, isn’t it ? Apart from making the new tab pages more user friendly and useful, the looks have improved a lot, and now looks really soft on eyes. I really love to see if this has happened on linux version too, but unfortunately, my linux laptop died recently, and I should take it to the service center, and once that’s back, I will have news for Linux people also.
So, now to the screenshots gallery ….. click on thumbnails to zoom in

I have a question, not sure if you’ll know the answer.
