By default, Google’s new web browser doesn’t give you a button on the toolbar to bring up your homepage. Here’s how to add the Home button so that the browser’s toolbar works like your other web browsers.


1. Open Google Chrome.

2. Click the wrench icon in the upper-right corner of the toolbar and select Options.

3. On the Basics tab, go down to the Home page section and check the Show Home button on the toolbar checkbox.

4. Click the Close button.

Now your Home button is where it should be:

    Nice!

    Thanks for this. I don't understand why they don't have it activated as standard but with the option to take it off if you wanted. Wierd.

    no not Alt, but the "option button"+F3. on some laptops, the same way you can increase/decrease screen brightness, or put the computer to sleep. option button + one of the F# keys.

    Why do you have to make everything so confusing?
    It seems that something as simple as click on home page shouldn't be a difficult thing!!
    WHY hide something so needed. Every time I want to go back, after looking at an attachment, I have to first close my email, reopen google, then sign in all over again and type in my id and password every time. I'm really getting fed up with email providers that make my life difficult.
