Hey, I found this feature just a couple of months ago and it's gone now. Would love to get it back if you can help me! I checked the online steps but that option under flags isn't showing up anymore either. I have the latest version 96.0.4664.93 (Official Build) (64-bit). Any tips? Thanks so much!

You can also download your bookmarks, save the page as a file, and bring it into Chrome again.

It's a little button, kind of like an arrow pointing down, right next to the minimize one.

Yeah, same thing, so try uninstalling and reinstalling. Here is how you turn on or off that little search icon that shows up on your new tabs in Chrome: visit www.howtogeek.com to get the instructions.

oh no, I guess not lol We are using lots of open tabs and saved bookmarks etc - not really worth messing up right now. I'm going to upgrade to Windows 10 in the next few weeks (hopefully). So I won't make any big changes for sure! cheers

Here is a simpler way to do it: you can take your bookmarks from Chrome and put them in an HTML file, then go back and get them again later.
