This extension shows the apps overview when opening a new tab in Chrome.
Show Apps in new tab Extension
Since Google updated Chrome to version 29, the App overview is no longer shown, when opening a new tab. This extension restores that behaviour to the way it was.
Tip: the keyboard shortcut CTRL+L (Windows/Linux) or CMD+L (macOS) highlights the URL.
v.3.0.0
* Upgraded to manifest V3. The rest of the extension code is exactly the same as version 2.1.0. Please bear in mind that the display of the apps is handled by internal Chrome code. This means that this extension has no influence over how that looks.
* Fixed a bug so that the address bar is highlighted again
v.2.1.0
This is the same as v.1.1.0, back by popular demand
v.2.0.0
Removed for now
v.1.1.0
Now automagically selects the URL, as many of you have requested.
