How To Edit Shortcuts On Google Chrome Homepage/Browser

[@evanm7872]

What if there IS NOT any "edit" button?

[@callsignnictmere465]

I do not get any of those google screen options to change anything.

[@mcmarine777]

NO edit icon on my screen & only "X" when hovering over shortcuts, no 3 dots

[@southwedger]

Thank you very much! Solved my problem quickly. Keep up the good work!

[@harrydacalion6908]

@Tech Talk I have one shortcut (KZbin) that opens just from my cursor touching it, (I don't have to click it, it just opens), which means, it opens the page before I can click on the 3 dots to edit it or change it... how do I stop that?

[@jsl5570]

That would be great if there actually was an edit icon or + to add. Google sucks. There are 7 short cuts showing and no apparent way to add others.

[@johnfranklin6394]

Many thanks. I just could not work out how to delete a shortcut. Your video sorted it for me!

[@PCHPatti]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I couldn't see the tiny three dots until you pointed it out. Now I can get the shortcut titles I want.

[@kaymcgonnell4091]

I always had 10 shortcuts in two rows. Now suddenly, it's all in one row. How do I get the two row format back?

[@homemadehavoc184]

also having this problem

[@VittoriaLogli]

one thing to note - there are a max of 10 shortcut icons and if you are at the max, then the "add shortcut" option disappears!

[@supakimmo]

I have tried to solve that particular issue for months without a solution.. so, what to do when you need place for e.g. 15 shortcut icons?

[@toddelkins9464]

Is there a way to do this for the android version?

[@wf.i.7260]

I want to change their style. How do I do that?

[@philcatterall5589]

Very useful video. Thank you!

[@kaykaye7400]

I was disappointed with this video. I wanted to learn how to move these icons around in line by line order. Recently, Google changed my 5x2 line up of shortcuts to a single line and I hate it. I want to go back to line after line shortcuts as it was before Google decided to change it without my permission. How do I do that?

[@Adde20]

For some reason the background icons are not white anymore. it matches the theme i am using why.

[@SwarajBarbade01]

How didi you do that I am not able to do that

[@mikebayless4268]

Thank you!!!

[@roccov3614]

What's the url for that page? It doesn't look like my google page?

[@bigbosstrainer8415]

Parroting. How do we do this on Android???

[@liudxdx]

my shortcuts used to be two rows like this one, it became one row and it's annoying. anyone knows how to change it back thank you

[@nancylbreaker-vz8ru]

if you find out how to do this, please let us know for this just happened to me also. You would think you could move the icons around with ease and I cannot figure it out. I have googled everything on this and no instruction yet. However, I do use 10 manually placed icons and now I know why the "add shortcut" icon doesn't appear on my google chrome screen.....thanking you in advance

[@melineyschulz9286]

Yup, this happened to me with the last update. I have been trying to move them back to the way I had them but I can't get it to work.

[@homemadehavoc184]

same problem here

[@sayafa5001]

I had the same problem back then and tried this and it worked however after I did the latest update I was unable to do it: Follow these steps: Go to Chrome://flags. In the search bar, type 'NTP Single row,' and it will be the first result. Click on the dropdown menu next to it and select 'DISABLE.' Afterward, click the 'Relaunch' button. Hope it works. Let me know if it works for you

[@cwjclark]

I dont got no little edit icon

[@michaelgiovanni1924]

Same problem here

[@michaelgiovanni1924]

I figured it out. Google has to be the default search engine. Change it to google and the edit icon will appear allowing you to make changes

[@cwjclark]

Worked for me. Thank you very much :-)

[@MrSirjacob]

@@michaelgiovanni1924 Doesn't work for me - still no edit icon unfortunately

[@spacedad1853]

I want to change the order of the shortcuts.

[@spacedad1853]

I figured out to drag them.

[@stevewenick7461]

Quick and easy. Thanks.

[@MrGermandeutsch]

I genuinely dislike how Google is hiding the ability to edit/remove these shortcut in plain sight, because I'm so used to having to open the options/settings first where you can enable the shortcuts in the first place. Horrible design, honestly.

[@rlaporte43]

This doesn't help to show how you "change the icon" to a customized icon most visited website instead of letting them choosing.

[@vinman5432]

Is there a max of 10 shortcuts?

[@craigclarke8495]

Yep, no idea why they limit it to 10. It's frustrating as it would be really useful to add more :-(

[@chumbo]

I wish I knew how to do this for Android 😒

[@florin3414]

We can have more than 10 ?

[@CharaLandis]

Still don't know how to edit the photo sadly...

[@coresupportservices9065]

What I really want to know is how to change the icon on a shortcut. I want to have a shortcut to a game but I want it to be a secret.

[@KenBooth-z7r]

no help here, there is no edit button

[@wieslawalexkaczmarek5258]

Total waste of time!
