Recently Google Chrome has launched a new kind of New Tab page. All the users of chrome, who are updated with it, may be well aware of it. And as per the reviews of the users, it is not being so reliable for most of the users. So, I will mention a way to switch back to the older version of New Tab page in Google Chrome.
What is special in the new ‘New Tab’ page?
Google Chrome is experimenting on New Tab page since a long time ago say approximately 1 year. Now, there is a new design of chrome’s new tab which is generally not liked by most of the users. Why? Obviously, because it has become little tough for the users to use it. As recently closed tabs are away. The 8 most visited web pages are in the form of thumbnail below a Google-doodle in new tab page that does not look so good. It is something like:
Changes in New Tab page of Google Chrome
Basically the changes are made to show that you can search by typing directly into the browser’s address bar, for the persons who are unaware about it. According to a Chrome software engineer the goal is to save people time by helping them search and navigate the web faster.
But, it is annoying for most of users, because a regular user knows all about this and it looks like a waste of space. And instead it, when you type something into the search box, it actually shows up in the address bar, anyway — which just looks and feels odd. (Maybe it’s a way of trying to teach users to use the address bar instead of the search box — but if so, shouldn’t the search box go away once you get it?)

So, the good thing is that you can switch it back to the old look as per your convenience. But, how to do that? Here it is:
How to switch back to older New Tab page?
To get the older new tab page in chrome, you have to follow the below steps carefully:
Type chrome://flags or chrome://flags/#enable-instant-extended-api into your browser’s address bar.
Just search for the option labeled as: Enable Instant Extended API, or you will get it at the top of the page, if you use the second code (longer one in the first step).
Change its setting from Default or Enabled to Disabled.
And now, click on Relaunch Now or just restart your browser. You have done it successfully.
This process is reversible. You can change it again to new look.
I hope it will work for you for sure. There are other ways also for doing so, either by using extensions or something else, but I would suggest doing it only; because more extensions increase load on the PC.
Note: Do not change other settings here, till you are not well-aware about them.
