Disable Dash for new tab in Chrome

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?

    Hi SBA93101 and woodae,

     

    Thanks for reaching out and taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. We appreciate your efforts in helping us improve our product! As it stands, the intention is for the Dash Start Page to be the primary experience for each new tab in order to encourage efficiency. However, we've heard your feedback and the team is exploring alternate options to having the Start Page be the default for every new tab. 
     
    We are committed to providing you with the best possible experience, and your feedback plays a crucial role in helping us achieve this goal. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us either on the Community or via Support.
     
    Thank you!

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.
