I wanted to keep the chrome://newtab feature with my 10 prefered urls showing under the search field. and I wanted to focus the search field (and not the address bar). I guess it's not possible to have both with this extension ..

Great extension, especially since Chrome doesn't let you set a different new tab page. I wanted to make a custom startpage for Chrome but Chrome doesn't let you do that. The closest thing to that is setting a website that will open on startup, but then when you click new tab it goes to the Chrome new tab.
