chrome most visited thumbnails not showing

Be aware, it looks like you have to be in the test in order to see a change, even if you've manually enabled the flag. But you can try to enable it (or disable it, if you're not a fan) with the chrome://flags/#omnibox-most-visited-tiles setting in the flags menu. There is a file in SQLITE format named Top Sites under the Chromes data directory. For Chrome, they are collectively referred to as Top Sites. If you are intentionally blocking chrome from storing your history then try turning your history on and visiting the sites you want on the new tab page then turning it off again(I do not know how to turn it on or off on command). The entry that you boxed in the screenshot is a thumbnail and the entries that show up there are the most visited websites by you.

This change appears to be rolling out to all versions of Chrome (stable, beta, canary, dev), via a server-side switch. Chrome not storing history is the problem, the most visited websites are based on how often they come up in your history. The results appear before any text is entered. A few users are starting to see these circular tiles with the tab favicon in them, with the most pertinent results left-justified. Chrome for Android is starting to recognize this, and give you more visible suggestions for your most-visited sites via new icons in the Omnibox.Ĭhrome has suggested frequently-visited sites since time immemorial but in text form, via a list that pops down from the bar. If you're anything like most web users, you have a core dozen or so sites that you visit regularly (including Android Police, right? Right?), while the rest you only peruse when it's pertinent.
