Yes, they’re nuts. Their wallpaper idea is more than, well, stupid. Here’s simple solution:
- Download blank.png,
- Click change background in bottom left corner,
- Click “From my computer”,
- Upload file you just downloaded.
It’s not as good as original Google page, but it definitely more eye-friendly that their idea of it.

This is my new tab page in Chrome:

When you open new tab in most browsers you got plenty space wasted on automated pages like most frequently visited. Well, what if I visit some pages 3-4 times a month but I’d really like to have them quickly accessible. Bookmark toolbars times are gone… they stick on screen, they’re awful to manage (4 clicks to get to ONE “well categorized” bookmark???).
This single screen replaces 3-click deep bookmark tree.
Now how it’s done.
1. Get “New Tab Favorites”* Google Chrome Extension,
2. find it’s files and replace newtab.html with your own file.
3. Voila!
*) other new tab extensions will do as well but this one leaves address bar EMPTY so it’s faster to paste or search on new tab.
