Remove Most Visited Pages: A Chrome Add-on to Customize Your New Tab Page
Remove Most Visited Pages is a free Chrome add-on developed by Christian Esperar. It falls under the category of Browsers, specifically Add-ons & Tools. This add-on allows you to redirect your new tab page to the Google homepage, effectively removing the Most Visited Pages feature.
With Remove Most Visited Pages, you can modify your Google homepage to make it look exactly like the new tab page. This means that you can enjoy a clean and clutter-free browsing experience without the distraction of frequently visited websites.
However, there are a few drawbacks to consider. Firstly, typing a search query directly into the URL bar is not yet possible with this add-on. To perform a search, you will need to use the shortcut keys: Ctrl + L or Alt + D or F6 for Windows or Linux users, and ⌘ + L for Mac users. Additionally, Remove Most Visited Pages does not support themes and is not recommended for users with slow internet connections.
It is worth noting that the add-on includes some additional features. Starting from versionand above, if your search query is in URL format, you can directly go to the website. This is a convenient feature for users who frequently visit specific websites by entering their URL.
Christian Esperar has also mentioned that there are upcoming features planned for Remove Most Visited Pages. One of these features includes result suggestions based on browser history, which can further enhance the browsing experience.
