Google chrome showing bookmarks........

Ever since the latest Google Chrome update, whenever I open a new tab, that tab shows a google search bar with an icon display of my bookmarks. Is there a way to turn this off.


Now, I ask you to try before you tell. I have already went into my settings and changed the default pages every place I found, so if this is the option, please try it out and share how you did it, simply changing my default page did not wor when I open a new tab specifically.


Thanks in advance

 

Ahhhh---bless the auto updates! Go to the little square looking thing in the upper righ hand corner. The little box that has the three horizontal lines. Click on that and go down to, Settings". In settings you will find a place that offers you three start up options. It is labelled, "On startup". Option number three is the one you want. It reads, "Open a specific page or set of pages". Right next to that in blue lettering is a clicky pop that says, "Set pages". Click it and it will bring up a chart of your opening pages for your browser. Simply "X" out the search one and you are finished.

P.S. This is exactly how I did mine.

P.P.S. ****PLEASE FORGIVE ME. I TOTALLY MISUNDERSTOOD YOUR QUESTION. THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO GET RID OF THE EXTRA TAB THAT OPENED WHEN YOU OPENED YOUR BROWSER.

 

Lol, yes, you misunderstood, but thanks for trying. Maybe someone can help. Could be the only solution is to use a different browser.........
