Create a custom Google Chrome extension[edit]
Instructions on how to create a custom Google start page.
Local setup[edit]
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/
Customizing the page content[edit]
The page content is located in start-page.html.
Javascript functionality is in tab.js.
Basically, each search box HTML element has an id. Those ids correspond to an addSearch() call in tab.js.

- Type
chrome://extensionsin 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-tabfolder and click Ok.
