Restore Recently Visited Websites on Google Chrome's Homepage
Tired of seeing recent search queries instead of your frequently visited websites on Chrome's homepage? A recent Google Chrome update changed the default behavior, displaying search queries on the homepage across both PC and mobile versions.
Fortunately, you can easily revert to the original setting and bring back your recently visited websites. Here's how:
Quick Fix: Disable the 'Organic repeatable queries' Flag
This simple tweak will restore the original Chrome homepage behavior:
- Access Chrome Flags: Open a new tab in Chrome and type
chrome://flags/#organic-repeatable-queries
into the address bar. - Disable the Flag: Locate the flag labeled "Organic repeatable queries in Most Visited tiles".
- Change the Setting: Use the dropdown menu to change the setting from "Default" or "Enabled" to "Disabled".
- Restart Chrome: Click the "Relaunch" button that appears at the bottom of the screen to restart Chrome and apply the changes.
Enjoy Your Restored Homepage
That's it! After restarting Chrome, your homepage should now display your recently visited websites instead of recent search queries. This quick fix provides a more visual and efficient way to access your favorite sites directly from the Chrome homepage.
Why This Matters:
- Improved User Experience: Many users prefer seeing their most visited websites for quick access.
- Enhanced Efficiency: Restoring the original homepage behavior streamlines browsing.
- Customization: Chrome flags offer powerful customization options to tailor your browsing experience.
By disabling the "Organic repeatable queries" flag, you can ensure that your Chrome homepage displays the websites you visit most often, making your browsing experience more efficient and enjoyable.
