Favourites On Google New Tabs

[Wrangler3]

On opening a new tab in google chrome, I used to get 8 small pictures of my most used websites and this was incredibly useful. Now I only get 4. Can find anything in settings. Can anyone tell me how to restore them? Thanks all.

I hope you get an answer for this, Wrangler. I updated my Chrome and all my little pictures have disappeared.
I thought that the more you used a site, the more likely it was for the little picture to appear. That hasn't happened though. I have some favourites along the bar at the top but no pictures in the middle of the screen.

I, too, would like to know how they can be restored.

You can't (by default) choose which tiles you see when you open a new tab. However you can add this extension to Chrome to allow you to customise the page:

Oddly, it's being offered lots of different websites when I open a new tab which is the feature which I detest the most about my own browser (Firefox). I want to see a completely blank page and nothing else! I find it better to have my own choice of popular websites displayed in the bookmarks toolbar, as illustrated in this screenshot:

Perhaps you would also benefit from using the bookmarks toolbar in Chrome?

Chrome seems to determine how many (4 or 8) links on the new tab according to a combination of the size of the browser window, and the zoom factor. Try either increasing the size of the window (if it's not already full-screen), or Hitting CTRL+Zero on the numeric pad to restore the zoom factor to 1.

Never had much use for them. Doesn't seem to take many typed characters for a browser to figure out where I'm heading.

Ah, they are still there, The Chair, Thank you.

However, because I zoomed in, they and the rest of the page, are very, very small.

[Wrangler3]

Thanks all. The Chair you were spot on!

if you delete one of the thumbnails you should get the option to 'restore all'
