Don't worry if you currently use the Google search bar and Top Sites of the default Chrome new tab page: this extension has that functionality as well.

Note: this is NOT an official Salesforce project. Salesforce is not responsible for this extension.

Permissions explanation:
\"Access your data on *.salesforce.com\"
- Used to get salesforce.com cookies to access the APIs.
\"Read and modify your browsing history\"
