Use Genie One as your Chrome new tab page

Beta

This feature is in Beta.

The Genie One Chrome extension replaces the Chrome new tab page with Genie One from your Databricks workspace. Every new tab opens the Genie One home page, so you can ask a question, search across your connected tools, or open a dashboard without first going to your workspace.

The extension works alongside the Genie One web experience. It uses your existing Databricks sign-in and permissions, and it has access only to the one workspace you choose.

Requirements​

  • Google Chrome version 102 or above. Firefox and Safari are not supported.
  • Access to Genie One in a Databricks workspace. See Open Genie One.

Install the extension​

Get the Genie One extension from the Chrome Web Store

  1. Open the Genie One listing in the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Click Add to Chrome, then click Add extension.
  3. Open a new tab. The Genie One home screen appears.
  4. The first time you open a new tab, click Log in to sign in with your Databricks credentials, then choose your account and workspace.

Change the workspace or turn off the extension​

Click the Genie One icon in the Chrome toolbar to open the extension menu:

  • To switch workspaces, open the Workspace menu and select Log in (auto-detect), Enter workspace URL, or a workspace under Recents. The extension remembers up to five recent workspaces.
  • To go back to the default Chrome new tab page, turn off Launch Genie One in new tab. Turn it back on at any time.

To remove the extension, go to chrome://extensions and click Remove on the Genie One extension.

Manage the extension for your organization​

The extension is available to anyone from the Chrome Web Store. Databricks does not provide an admin setting to enable or disable it. To allow, block, or force-install the extension for your organization, use your Chrome browser management policies, such as Chrome Enterprise extension policies. The extension ID is jpoejhieekdpiibhkkpmmcalkkffemlf.

Limitations​

  • Some workspaces can't be displayed inside the new tab. The new tab shows a short countdown, then opens Genie One as a full page.
  • If your workspace is reachable at more than one URL, the new tab opens a full page when the URL changes.
  • Clicking a link to a site outside Databricks has no effect. To open the link, press Cmd (macOS) or Ctrl (Windows) while you click it.
  • Only one extension can control the Chrome new tab page at a time. If another extension also replaces the new tab page, turn one of them off.
  • The extension is not supported for workspaces in AWS GovCloud.
