"Can chrome add a dropdown list of commonly visited websites like other browsers?"

Seriously, why is this so hard? Other browsers let you just click the address bar and boom—your top sites pop up in a neat little dropdown. But Chrome? Nah, you gotta rely on bookmarks or the new tab page like some kinda caveman.

I’ve tried extensions, but they’re either clunky or packed with ads. Is there *really* no built-in way for chrome to add a dropdown list of commonly visited websites?

If anyone’s figured this out, pls share. I’m tired of typing the same URLs over and over.

Let me know if you want it tweaked!
Chrome doesn’t have this built-in, but you can kinda hack it. Try the "Speed Dial 2" extension—it’s clean and lets you customize a dropdown of your fav sites.

Not perfect, but way better than typing URLs like it’s 2005.

Also, chrome add a dropdown list of commonly visited websites would be such a simple QOL update. Why hasn’t Google done this yet?
Ugh, I feel you. Chrome’s new tab page is useless for quick access.

Try "Toby for Chrome"—it organizes your sites into groups and shows them in a sidebar. Not exactly a dropdown, but close enough.

Still weird that chrome add a dropdown list of commonly visited websites isn’t a default feature.
Honestly, just switch to Vivaldi. It’s Chromium-based but has way better customization, including a dropdown for frequent sites.

If you’re dead set on Chrome, "Bookmark Bar" + folders is the least messy workaround.

Google pls, chrome add a dropdown list of commonly visited websites shouldn’t be this hard.
Pro tip: Use the "Most Visited" section on the new tab page. Just pin the sites you use often.

Not a dropdown, but it’s built-in and works fine.

Still, chrome add a dropdown list of commonly visited websites would save so many clicks.
Wow, didn’t expect so many workarounds! Gonna try Dropdowney and Speed Dial 2 first.

Still baffled that chrome add a dropdown list of commonly visited websites isn’t a thing yet.

Thanks y’all—if these don’t work, I might just switch browsers like some suggested.
Check out "Dropdowney" extension. It’s lightweight and adds a dropdown of your top sites when you click the address bar.

No ads, no bloat.

Why Google won’t let chrome add a dropdown list of commonly visited websites natively is beyond me.
You could try "Quick Bookmark Access"—it adds a dropdown menu to your toolbar with all your bookmarks.

Not exactly the same, but if you bookmark your frequent sites, it’s a decent fix.

Chrome add a dropdown list of commonly visited websites when??
I gave up and just use Edge for this exact reason. Their address bar dropdown is *chef’s kiss*.

But if you’re stuck on Chrome, "SiteLauncher" might help. It’s not perfect, but it’s something.

Google, take notes: chrome add a dropdown list of commonly visited websites pls.
"Frequently Visited" in Chrome flags might help? Not sure if it’s still there, but worth a look.

Otherwise, "OneTab" could work—it saves all your tabs in a list, which you can re-open anytime.

Still, chrome add a dropdown list of commonly visited websites would be way better.
