I want my old speed dial page on google chrome

I know this has been posted alot around here. But this is about the new google update after I tried to install google chrome on a new laptop. Google Chrome Version 29.0.1547.76 m has ruined the speed dial look I once had. It now shows a search input box and a smaller set of speed dials below it. (see image please)

Is there a way to get back the nice clean speed dial page we all love?

Answer

You can try the following:

• enter chrome://flags in the address bar


• goto Enable Instant Extended API


• Set it to Disabled


• Restart Chrome

This worked for me (until Google decides otherwise).

Edit: If you go directly to chrome://flags/#enable-instant-extended-api you don't have to search :)
