Home Button At Top Right

Description

Provides a button at the top-right of Chrome that links to any pages. This extension provides a button at the top-right of Chrome that links to any pages. Regarding upgrade: you now have version 1.7 because Chrome requires a manifest change before June 2024. The new system uses different storage, so your homepage url has been deleted. You just need to re-add it (via right-click > options). Regarding new installs: you have to click the Extensions icon at the top-right of Chrome and pin the new extension in order to see it in your top-bar. Clicking this new home button initially redirects your current tab to Google. Right-click the new home button and choose Options to edit the home-page urls. You can also choose a white icon if you have a dark theme. You can hide the official home button at top left via: Chrome Settings > Appearance > Show home button > Disabled. This extension only uses the storage permission to remember your settings. This extension never monitors your activity. It only redirects your tabs when requested.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome ExtensionSettings = { "bfejcgpdahgpmgadhgdadfiekmhgnifm": { "file_url_navigation_allowed": true}}
