I just had my hard drive wiped, and I reinstalled Google Chrome. Does the newest version of Chrome only have the bookmarks bar on the "New Tab" page? I'm having trouble - it was never like this.
Here is when I have the new tab page - notice the bookmarks bar. Before, this was attached to the top of the page (there was no white space).
