With the update, you now effectively have two search boxes on your New Tab page вЂ“ the search box and the omnibox.ДЄs Google explained back in December, the reasoning behind this change came from observations of real-world user behavior. The choice to add the Google Search box to the New Tab page is also somewhat odd, given that one of ChromeвЂ™s better features has always been its вЂњ omniboxвЂќ вЂ“ the address bar at the top of the browser works as a way to navigate directly to a website if the address is typed in, as well as an alternative to navigating to to kick off a keyword-based web search. For websites that have a largely white background, for example, youвЂ™ll have to look for the siteвЂ™s favicon at the base of the thumbnail instead of the background image itself, in order to know which is which. That makes the thumbnail images appear much smaller than before which does take some getting used to. While Google has acquiesced on the number of most-visited sites to display, it has decided to again include the large Google search box above these links, along with the big Google doodle, too.

Unfortunately for those who didnвЂ™t care for the earlier update, the latest update may generally disappoint. Instead, you now have to click on the top-right menu (the icon with the three horizontal lines) to access this feature. The second page with all your Chrome Apps is now gone, replaced by the Apps button in the toolbar.ДЄlso gone is the bottom menu you could click to quickly access your most recently closed tabs. In addition, the company had earlier experimented with adding an вЂњAppsвЂќ tab to the bookmarks bar, while removing the usual shortcuts to web apps from the Chrome Web Store from the second page of the New Tab page.
