User reviews
Nice! Thanks for bringing this back. Like most people, I had and loved the original, but not being able to temporarily disable it took one star from being perfect. Thanks for the work! This is something that should be in the Chrome settings by default. If I'm opening a new tab, of course, I want to see that tab right away.
