Guys,

You must go to Chorme's Settings > Show Advance Settings. Then, find the "Web content" section and uncheck the box below.

Hope that would help a lot.... Email me if you need some tips & tricks.

Well in my version of Google Chrome there's an X (at the top right of the image) to just delete the thumbnail

Imagine doing that with a history of thousands of webpages.

Read the last posts on this thread when Alan Stock starts talking for the solution and screenshots https://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/d/msgid/chrome/81af1c5a-881f-4ae7-8bc1-c679c0d4368e%40googleproductforums.com

just do wut @barako said & u will get ur solution, i hope.

 

[hot IT chick]

I told you how to fix it. not sure what barako's suggestion even has to do with the issue. You are talking about those annoying thumbnails of your recently visited pages that appear under the google search field on your home page, right?

 

[Koroke San]

oh i guess yeah, i was confused before btw i don't use chrome based browser now but thnx for taking ur time to reply on my thread hehe

 

[hot IT chick]

the other browsers are so slow...i don't know how you stand it...

 

[Koroke San]

yup pale moon, cyberfox are slow for me. Find me a good light weight browser who doesn't eat CPU & not consume ram .

 

[hot IT chick]

idk, i have 32GB and an i7 so i don't really think about it. i think it's more the website platforms like flash and java that are the resource hogs. not the browser itself. although, waiting for firefox to even launch is annoying...i have no desire to use safari and internet exploder isn't even a consideration. at least chrome is fast and pretty secure. and now that i got rid of the thumbnails, i am even happier with it.

 

[Koroke San]

Good for u but for me chrome eats CPU, i tested it in different system & not everyone uses i7 & 32 GB ram. here firefox launch take 1-2 seconds. I like IE 11 but since i can't use addon which i want it's not my main browser.

For anyone paranoid about using extensions and willing to program their own, this is the function you should be looking at:

https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/override

An example Manifest file for you:

{
"name": "NewNewTab",
"version": "0.0.1",
"manifest_version": 1,
"description" : "Override NewTab.",
"icons": { "16": "icons/16x16.png", "48": "icons/48x48.png", "128": "icons/128x128.png" },
"omnibox": { "keyword" : "yeah" },
"browser_action": {
"default_title": "Override NewTab",
 },
 "chrome_url_overrides" : {
 "newtab": "newtab/newtab.html"
 }

^ Code might be a bit rusty, haven't done a chrome extension in a while.
