Google Chrome has come with a new option that lets you modify the appearance of the New Tab page (in short NTP). This customization menu is called version 2 and is available in Chrome 76 and in later ones as well. Basically, the feature replaces the classic pop-up menu with a customization window by keeping the previous options the same. Like earlier, it allows users to set its color, change the background, and adjust shortcuts using a new dialog. However, it is not turned on by default, you need to activate it using a flag. So, here you will see instructions to enable NTP customization menu Version 2 in Google Chrome.
This menu appears as a welcome page if you install Chrome browser afresh. But users who are already using it, need to click the pencil button located in the bottom right corner of a new tab. After doing so, a small flyout menu will show up with the essential customization options such as Chrome backgrounds, Upload an image, Restore default shortcuts and default background.
