What is New Tab Start Page?

'New Tab Start Page' is a powerful Chrome extension that enables users to fully customize their browsing experience. It allows setting up a custom home page, forcibly playing YouTube videos at the highest quality, performing reverse image searches, navigating through history, managing cookies, and enhancing privacy protection. It also grants the option to change or spoof the browser's 'User Agent'. Additional features include text and URL translation, opening a cached website version, and element removal from a page. It supports Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, and Edge (Chromium) browsers. To benefit from all these functionalities, certain security permissions should be enabled.

Very useful for me, thanks for making this extension! Is there a way to hide all the Google apps on the built-in Google page? I tried to drag as shown in your demo video, but I can't delete the last one.
