This is also in my start page of chrome. Google's search bar is now also the main thing on my start page. And the thumbnails for my favourite pages are smaller and under it. I hate it. Does anyone know how to get rid of this?
The thing is that this was already there a couple of months ago but it went away only to reappear two days ago.

edit2: they also somehow managed to use the omni bar for search on google.com, there isn't any search box on the page itself. Which is also highly annoying. What's up with that? http://i.minus.com/iskQdZsxapVei.png http://i.minus.com/iskQdZsxapVei.png
- maggit 13y agoAre you on an experimental version of Chrome? I mean, are you using Chrome, but a variant other than the stable one? I've sometimes found that they roll out crazy experiments in the non-stable Chrome builds that integrate with crazy features on Google's web sites, such as the "remove the search box from the web page"-feature. I've since come to prefer the stable variant of Chrome :)
- CWIZO 13y agoI'm on dev. I'll probably switch to stable yeah. But I'm afraid that this sort of things are gonna drip down to the stable eventually :/
- jibberia 13y agoSame here. I got off the dev release channel at home after that, and switched to stable at work after they made the new tab page look like the Google homepage. It makes my browser less useful, and I couldn't find a way to disable it!
- pachydermic 13y agoWeird. But c'mon... "hate it"? I think you'll get used to it. It's not really a big change in my book.
- CWIZO 13y agoWell, I hate it :) I mean fine add this, but make the old version available as a config option or something. I really don't need a big google logo and a search bar every time I press cmd+t
- dudus 13y agoIt is optional. You can disable it here: chrome://flags/#enable-instant-extended-api You can also install another tab page as an extension. eg: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/x-new-tab-page/cbmbfafhdccfgdgnbkgogehiklmemkoh https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/x-new-tab-page/cbm...
- olegp 13y agoWhat do you want your start page to look like? You could replace it with this app launcher we built: https://starthq.com/ext https://starthq.com/ext
- Shank 13y agoDisable the extended search API in chrome://flags to turn it off.
- CWIZO 13y agoAwww man, thank you! That's just what I needed!
