How to Revert back Chrome’s New Tab Page

With the new update for Google chrome, they have made less appealing changes to it’s new tab page. A big Google logo with search box in the centre of the screen and recently closed websites below the box, Chrome’s new tab page looks just frustrating. I normally used new tab page for accessing the chrome apps for which now i have to click on the apps button in the bookmarks toolbar. In this post, I’ll show you how to revert or restore your old Google chrome new tab page.
