Why are my Bookmarks and New Tab page missing on Chrome?

It can happen that you are missing your bookmarks bar or customized pages on Chrome after installing Ecosia on Chrome, here is what you can do:
Bookmarks bar
If you are missing your bookmarks bar from the default new tab page you can bring it back by doing the following:
  • On a Mac - click on "View" and then click "Always Show Bookmarks Bar"
  • On a PC - click on Settings and then, under Appearance, click "Show bookmarks bar"

Custom New Tab page

If you would like to use Ecosia as your default search engine in Chrome without seeing the Ecosia New Tab page here is what you can do:

After installing the Ecosia extension, you can install another extension (such as Momentum) that customises your New Tab page. This way Ecosia will still work and you will have a custom New Tab page at the same time. If you already have a custom extension that is no longer working, uninstalling it, then reinstalling it again will solve the problem. This is because the typical behavior for all extensions is that only the most recently installed one can control the New Tab settings.

If you want to customise your New Tab page even more you might want to try this extension in addition to the Ecosia extension.

Although we would like to make it easy to keep your previous New Tab page when using the Ecosia extension, we are not yet able to due to technical reasons from the Chrome side. We are working towards making this process more straightforward in the future.
