The new tab page extensions can let you change the behavior of what happens when you open a new tab.

You can apply themes to change the tab color, change the new tab page, or change cursor.

Not everyone likes the default white-ish look of Chrome not a fan of dark mode either.

Lets see various ways to customize Chrome on Windows and Mac.

Use Themes Earlier, we resorted to Chrome extensions for changing the theme.

Now, you simply need to head to the Chrome settings and apply a theme of your choice.

Here are the steps in detail: Step 1: Launch Chrome on your PC.

Note: Use this step to open Chrome Settings wherever mentioned in this post.

Click on Reset to default next to Themes in Chrome Settings.

You need to enable the button first and then add a webpage that should open by clicking on the home button.

The button is available at the top-left corner just next to the URL box.

You can either set it to open the New Tab page (you can customize that too, as shown below) or add a custom webpage.

Note: The website will open in the same tab where you hit that home button.

For instance, you can have your work-related websites to launch on Chrome whenever you begin your day.

To change the Start page, follow these steps: Step 1: Open Chrome Settings on your PC.

Step 2: Scroll down and you will find the On startup section.

You get multiple options, such as open new tab page, open specific pages, or open pages that were last open.

You will get two options My shortcuts and Most visited sites.

In the former one, you need to set the shortcuts manually, and Chrome will automatically generate shortcuts in the latter, depending on the frequency of their usage.

In case you dont want to see shortcuts, turn on the toggle next to Hide shortcuts.

The color that you choose will apply as a background color, and also you will see that it changes the title bar color as well as the tabs.

Tip: Refer our guide on 4 ways to change the default background color in Chrome.

But, thanks to Chrome extensions, you can modify it in numerous ways.
