❓ FAQ
There's no search bar. How do I search the web? Use the address bar for web searches.
The bookmarks bar doesn't show in the new tab. Why does Clear New Tab hide it? Clear New Tab doesn't hide it; if an extension replaces the default new tab, Chrome automatically hides the bookmarks bar. To make it always visible, press Ctrl + Shift + B.
How can I eliminate the "white flash" before a background loads? Adjust the "Color of the area around the background" setting. Ensure that "Settings context" is set to "Global."
The theme background doesn't fit the screen. How do I fix it? Select "Cover the screen" or "Fit to the browser window" in the "Background size" dropdown.
