User reviews

I have 7 home tabs for the different apps I need to use during the day. They all launch to the 'Dashboard' of each app upon opening Chrome. Having the ability to quickly go back to the original 'Dashboard' is extremely useful. Since switching from IE, I've missed the home button drop-down feature. That feature was one of the main reasons for not switching to Chrome. This is a perfect replacement for that feature. Great job and thanks!

This app is great if you use pinned tabs and apps and keep needing to go back to the first page that loaded up.
