Summary

NOTE: 29-Sep-2017

A change in Chrome 61 has caused the address bar's contents to become unhighlighted when opening a new tab. This causes frustration because you can't just type a search when opening a new tab. This is currently under discussion in the Chrome bug tracker, e.g. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=763711 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=766331

I am continuing to watch the issue and also looking for a workaround. Apologies for the inconvenience.

NOTE: 27-Apr-2015

This extension is NOT compatible with Chromebooks. In ChromeOS, apps are accessed via the Launcher and not via the Chrome Apps page. The Chrome Apps page is blank within Chrome, therefore installing this extension will give you a blank new tab page.

This is the best new tab extension ever which is why I am so distressed that it is not working on my new computer. The extension is enabled, but it is not running. What do I do it's driving me insane!
