Remove Most Visited Pages by redirecting the new tab page to Google homepage
What is Remove Most Visited Pages?
'Remove Most Visited Pages' is a functional Chrome extension designed to declutter the interface by redirecting new tab pages to a simplified Google homepage. Eliminating the display of most visited pages, it offers a clean browsing experience. However, direct typing of searches in the URL bar isn't possible. It also lacks theme support and is not suitable for users with slow internet connections. Additional features include direct website access from URL barring searches. Future updates anticipate a results suggestion feature based on browser history.
