We’ve simplified our Chrome new tab extension. It shows you **2–4 new links** from the people and interests you follow. And when you scroll, links get marked as seen and you dive into the full experience. ### Why the change? When you open a new tab, you most often want to navigate to a site — not get distracted with a bunch of things. Yet, our new tab extension is very convenient to learn about new links on the go, and to scan your feed in a break or at the end of the day. Many loved it the way it was, but sometimes we get asked for a simpler version. Yesterday we got another such request, so we implemented a quick prototype: it showed only one row of links, with a button to go to [refind.com](https://refind.com). We tested it ourselves for a few hours and asked [our ambassadors](https://refind.com/?open=enjoying) which version they preferred. The result: * 66% preferred the classic version, * 33% preferred the simple version, * 1% wanted a mix. So, we went for a mix: only one row of links (no menu, etc.), but when you scroll, links get marked as seen and you dive into the full experience. ### **Marked as seen** * More links show up when you _hover_ and/or _scroll_ * The first row of links gets **marked as seen** as soon as you _scroll_ * All other rows get marked as seen as soon as you scroll past them (the colored progress bar on the top) ### Give it a spin Get our Chrome New Tab extension and give it a spin: [**Set as new tab - Refind** _Discover the best links from the people and interests you follow - every time you open a new tab in Chrome._refind.com](https://refind.com/about/newtab "https://refind.com/about/newtab")[](https://refind.com/about/newtab)
