I use Chrome browser and it used to always show my “most visited” websites when I opened a new tab.

Now when I open a new tab nothing shows up. It’s blank.

Chrome says it’s up to date version 16.0.912.63

I must’ve turned something off or on.

Any clue what I’ve done?

There’s a chevron on the middle of the left-hand side. Click on it.

Yeah, it took me a while to see it too. Google, sometimes there is such a thing as “too discreet”!

OK I see the Chevron and if I click it, it goes to aps.

The thing is my “most visited” page is always blank. I have Chrome on my laptop and desktop and it doesn’t do it on the desktop. It does show the most visited. Just the laptop. I compared the settings and they are the same. And the Chrome versions are the same, but I am missing something.

All I see on the “most visited” page is eight blank squares

Mine works, but it took a while to start showing something after the last upgrade. Maybe it needs a minimal amount of visits counting exclusively since that last upgrade.

Mine just now started working, but I assumed it was because I only use Chrome to go to a couple of sites (so I don’t have to log out in Firefox).

I figured out what it was, it was the extensions. I had to disable them all and then I enabled them one by one and finally it came back. So if anyone has issues, try that
