Custom Chrome Start Page

Create a custom Google Chrome extension

Instructions on how to create a custom Google start page.

Local setup

The extension's files are stored in a Dropbox folder so that any computer synced to the Dropbox will have its Chrome start page automatically updated.

/cloud/dropbox/chrome/chrome-extensions/

Troubleshooting

Chrome will occasionally start prompting that the developer mode extension poses a security threat.

In order to disable these prompts:

• Type chrome://extensions in the browser navigation bar.
• Find the "Improved new tab page" extension.
• Click the Load unpacked extension... button.
• Navigate to the directory containing the "Improved new tab page" extension files (/cloud/dropbox/chrome/chrome-extensions/new-tab/).
• Select the new-tab folder and click Ok.
