I installed the Dash extension in Chrome (MacOS), but now a new tab displays the Dash homepage, rather than the old page I had selected. How can I disable the Dash homepage for New Tabs in Chrome?

Same problem here, looking for same solution.

I've disabled the addon - the only solution I can find. It seems to have taken complete control of the new tab settings.

    Nope. I just stopped using Dropbox. If this keeps up...this nothing, I mean... I'm going to dump it and uninstall and just throw it on the pile with all the others that can't seem to get this customer support thing.

  I love using Dash because of stacks but I don't want it to be my main homepage in my Chrome.
  
  When the Dropbox Dash extension is turned on, I CANNOT see my Google bookmarks and shortcuts which is essential for my work. It would be nice if the extension stays on the extension bar and can be turned on/off onto another tab when clicked. Is there anyway I can get around this?

  You offer to help everyone with this issue, but I can not find a single answer to this question. I'm fine with you being all grateful for the input and feedback and stuff. You're welcome.
  Now, I want to get rid of this pushy overbearing and rather sneaky thing, and to get my computer back...including the new tab settings. How do I do that? Please answer with actual instructions or, if you can't, tell me that.
  Answering that quickly would be good.

  So this tells me to.... to what? Reach out? I've done that and I understand you are grateful. You are welcome. Now, if it wouldn't be too much to ask, can you publish instructions for removal? If not that, some kind of clue where we might go to find those instructions? By instructions for removal, I mean a series of clearly defined steps that, when followed, result in Dash being gone.
  Thank you for your time.
  Thank you for my time.
  I have stopped using Drop Box for the present.
  In oh, a couple of weeks or so, if I don't get an actual answer to the question everyone in this thread is asking, I will uninstall Drop Box. There are other ways. Pity.

  I Totally agree it is very annoying and even more annoying is that Dropbox haven't come up with a solution - Why do I pay them so much each year if they can't answer a simple question
  
  Dash was a good idea but for now at least Dash - disabled
