Add a home button to the Chrome browser

The one thing I find really odd about the new Chrome browser from Google is that there is no button in the toolbar to take you to your home page. I guess they are trying to think about things in a new light. But I still like being able to get to my home page in a single click without having to think about it. If you want, you can add a Home button to the toolbar in Google Chrome. Here's how.

1 - Click on the wrench in the far right of the toolbar and select Options from the menu.

2 - If you aren't already there, click on the Basics tab.

3 - In the section called Home page: there is an entry called Show Home button on the toolbar. Click the box next to it and then click the Close button.

Once you do this you'll have a Home button in the toolbar on the Chrome browser.
