I did not use this extension because it would not let me open up a custom homepage URL in the current tab. However, this extension saved my life, so that is why I am giving it five stars. How did it save my life? If you read the Overview description, it tells you how to give the extension permission to access file URLs. The instructions aren't very clear, so I will rewrite them for you. a.) Create a notepad document and paste the following: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionSettings] "igpnoclidbfdpibfcjbnkchhmmghhjab"="{\"file_url_navigation_allowed\":true}" b.) Change the notepad document extension from .txt to .reg. If you double click this new Windows Registry script, it will create a Chrome Policy that will give this extension 'Second Home Button At Top Right' permission to allow file URL navigation. The extension ID for 'Second Home Button At Top Right' is 'igpnoclidbfdpibfcjbnkchhmmghhjab', which you can confirm by looking at the URL address bar of your browser as you read this review. The other thing that I liked about this extension is that the default icon is identical to the 'Home' icon that Chrome uses. Also, the extension UI is very polished and easy to use. If this extension was updated to allow you to open up a custom homepage URL in the current tab, then it would truly be a five star extension. Thanks to the developer for their passion and hard work.
The button is working perfectly! It would be great to have the same extension multiple times with different names for example : 'Third Home Button At Top Right', 'Fourth Home Button At Top Right' ... With multiple instances it would be possible to build a button bar inside the chrome toolbar.
good one :)
