How do I turn on / off the Wakelet 'New Tab' for Chrome? – Wakelet

When you install the Wakelet browser extension for Chrome (see here), your 'New Tab' page will automatically be changed to Wakelet.

This is a really useful feature for quickly saving and organising your content. You can even create a collection from all of your tabs in just one click. See here for a guide on using it.

If you'd prefer not to use the Wakelet New Tab, it's easy to disable.

To disable the Wakelet new tab page

Right click on the 'W' button on your browser bar
Select 'options'
On the page that appears, click the toggle next to 'Enable Wakelet extension for new tabs'.

To re-enable it, just do the same again.

I want to use a different new tab extension

If you follow the above steps to disable the page, you may find that your old 'new tab' page, if set by a different extension, is now missing and the default new tab for Chrome is appearing. To fix this and use your old extension, you can either:

Re-install the previous extension (Chrome chooses the last 'new tab' installed as a default)

Use a new tab manager extension, such as MultiNewTab. (Please note that Wakelet is not responsible for any external extensions, install at your own risk).
