Customize your New Tab page in Chrome

Depending on your default search engine, you may be able to control what appears below the search box on your New Tab page.

On your computer, you can customize:

  • The theme with an image and color
  • The content that appears

To customize your New Tab page, you must be signed in to your Google Account and use Google as your default search engine.

In some countries, you may need to manage your linked Google services to use Chrome history for personalization and other services.
