Thumbnails or Favicons?

I don't think it's possible, but you could use the App page and create your own extensions (it's simple, I'll post a thread soon) to your favourite sites. Or bookmark your fav. site and find them from the omnibar (address bar).

As of Version 33.0.1750.115, at least that's the version I'm using on my Linux Mint 16 box, the "Enable Instant Extended API" flag no longer exists. I just sent Google some feedback on this. I won't say that I was as polite as I am normally. But, they needed some reminding. They seem to forget that people use Chrome at work and something like this could have a serious impact.

The only option now is for those of us savvy enough, (and who can remember to do so), is to either go incognito, Ctrl+Shift+N, full time -- a pain -- and to manually delete browser history on exit anyway.

I left Firefox a couple of years ago because performance was just horrible and because sandboxing was apparently a totally alien concept to them. I don't know what progress Mozilla has made on those issues, but I wonder if Opera is any good? I'll have to check if it's available for Linux. But, I bet Opera has its own set of schizophrenic traits.

Update:

Wouldn't you know it, I found an extension to redirect the new tab page in their App store. I can only hope that it's been properly vetted. There are a few to choose from. For the record, I arbitrarily picked 'New Tab Redirect!' by James Schubert.

Yeah Chrome just updated for me just now...and Google really did remove the chance to get the old "New Tab" back. ( Bunch od SoB's as far as i am concerned right now. ) Adding 'New Tab Redirect!' only solves one part, i still have that stupid App button on the left...and it can not be removed.

And now after the update the Extension "No Favicons" stopped working as well...Thank you Freaking much Google!
