Doug Dunfee (ID: 0000003fb6c97cf0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/03/2013 Good start for sure. If the beta 28 nonsense of an Apps button persists then this might get a lot more popular. Features that need to be added. 1. Change icon size 2. Change grid size 3. Right-click, open in new tab 4. Alphabetize option and most used option 5. Search for app 6. Just have editing enabled all the time 7. Customizable background color 8. Option to remove the useless Chrome v28 Apps button Otherwise I still prefer it to the other 2 popular options at this time that use lists instead of icon grids. This looks more like the pre-v28 app list Chrome had.
