v0.5.0 Updated Jul 16, 2025 163KiB
Description
Special Thanks: A huge thank to Volker Schotten, who suggested supporting multiple named instances to create a flexible button bar. Your feedback (https://chromewebstore.google.com/reviews/c07cbc92-4fd8-4110-b93e-99c43c2fb52b) made this extension possible!
Based on this feedback, I've created multiple versions so you can build your custom button bar:

๐ Second Home Button At Top Right
๐ Overview
Add a customizable home button to the top-right of Chrome's toolbar, linking to any webpage(s) you choose. Simple, lightweight, and privacy-focused, this extension lets you quickly access your favorite sites with a single click.
โจ Features
- ๐ Custom Links: Set a single URL or multiple URLs to open from the home button.
- ๐จ Customizable Icon: Choose from icon options (e.g., white icon for dark themes) to match your Chrome toolbar.
- โ๏ธ Easy Setup: Right-click the button, select "Options," and configure your homepage URLs or icon preferences.

- ๐ซ Hide Default Home Button: Disable Chrome's built-in home button via Settings > Appearance > Show Home Button > Disabled.
๐ Privacy & Transparency
- Uses only the storage permission to save your settings.

- Questions? Use the "Write a review" on this extension page.
๐ Notes for Users
- ๐ New Installs: Pin the extension to see the button. Default link is Google; customize via Options.
- ๐ Local Files: Chrome 118+ restricts local URLs (e.g., `file:///C:/MyFolder/MyFile.html`). Enable local navigation via Windows Registry:
```
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome
ExtensionSettings = {
"igpnoclidbfdpibfcjbnkchhmmghhjab": {
"file_url_navigation_allowed": true
}
}
```
- ๐ฎ Future Plans: Based on reviews, simplify the Option page.
๐ค Why Choose This Extension?
- ๐ฏ Always free, no ads, no subscriptions.
- ๐ชถ Lightweight and built for simplicity.
- ๐ ๏ธ Fully customizable to fit your browsing needs.
Personalize your Chrome experience today with a home button that works *your* way! ๐
