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?
I am amazed at the vacuum like absence of solutions or responses. I have uninstalled the add on and shall now proceed to ignore the Dropbox Community. Nothing personal, I like message boards--and apparently that is all this is. In answer: I disabled it in the using the add on button...but I'm using Brave. It's Chrome based, but not Chrome. Anyhow, it popped up again so I uninstalled it... so far, so good. It's a waste of my time and I don't recall signing up to be a beta tester.
I REALLY don't want to get rid of Dropbox, but I am looking for an alternative now. This silent response and "pushy" add on add up to a very bad sign. I see it as "writing on the wall" and the Powers That Be don't seem interested in erasing anything.
It's been fun for a few years, but I'll replace it with sneakers and wear and tear on the car if I have to.

Community ManagerHi Everybody,
Dash can be uninstalled like any other application, which depends on your operating system.
To disable the Browser extension:
- Click on the "Extensions" icon to the right of the URL bar
- Click the 3 dots (or lines) next to Dropbox Dash, then select Manage Extensions
- Scroll to the bottom and click Remove Extension
- Confirm removal of Dash in the pop-up
To uninstall the macOS Dash Desktop app:
- Quit Dash
- Open "Finder" in the bottom left of your dock
- Navigate to Applications
- Drag the Dash application to the trash, or right click and select Move to Trash
To uninstall the Windows Dash Desktop app:
- Navigate to the Control Panel by searching for Control Panel via the search box on the task bar
- Select Programs > Programs and Features or Uninstall a Program (depending on your settings and version of windows)
- Find Dropbox Dash, right click, and select Uninstall
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Regards,
Ben
Well, fixing it would have been nice, but I suppose this is better than totally ignoring the problem. I removed it months ago...but as I said, making it work would have been better.
Thanks anyway, Ben.
