It's an experimental extension, meaning you'll have to check one box saying you agree that it's not 100 percent approved, and it doesn't always play nice with other tab-controlling extensions like Tab Mix Plus (check the add-on comments for that particular fix). But JumpStart does do a darned good jobs of mimicking the features of Chrome's tab page. There's a customizable grid of your most visited pages, which you can "pin" for permanent position or "X" for removal. Then there's a familiar right-hand list of your recent searches, recent bookmarks, and recently closed tabs.
There are definitely a few kinks to be worked out, especially in the most visited thumb creations, as a good number of pages end up with white or blank thumbnails. And, depending on your browser/OS setup, the background can be either pristine white or clunky gray. If you want a decently close copy of Chrome's new tab page without installing a toolbar, though, it's hard to beat JumpStart's dedication.
