This week Google released an update to Chrome that made searching from a new tab faster.

The thing is, I launch new tabs to quickly access my chrome apps and the update moved this a click further away.
Yeah, I know..first world problem.
The “app” tab is still there, but I haven’t yet found a setting that makes it default for new tabs.
Instead, I’ve now installed the chrome app launcher onto my windows taskbar, which allows you to fire up those apps even without the chrome browser being open.
That’s better.
