Eugh. It seems insistent on showing you your previously visited websites whenever you open a new tab now. I've had to use AdBlock to remove that portion of the page as I can't find a way to do it in settings. Except it comes back again for every new tab! AAAGH!

Anyone else know a way to disable it?

Thanks but I'll use IE10 if no-one can help.

i don't use chrome but can't you just configure new tabs to show your homepage?

I can't find a way to do that but I have found a "flag" to set the new tab behaviour to how it was previously.

chrome://flags and find "enable instant extended API" and set it to disabled.

Are you on Version 29.0.1547.76 m ?

I did post a fix in #5 which puts the browser back to what it was. So I am happy now.

Yep, Chrome says:

Version 29.0.1547.76 m

My flag says it's set to "Default" at the moment, with no indication of if Default means Enabled or Disabled. I'd have to restart chrome to test it, and I currently have about 40 tabs open so I'll try it later!

Yes, mine was on Default which otherwise means Enabled. So I disabled it.

It's been doing that ^^ for me for about a month now. Haven't a clue what's going on. The whole computer locks up for me though. Then after about 20 seconds everything carries on as if nothing happened.
