Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Allows you to change the new tab page to the New Tab Redirect app page, or a custom URL of your choice!

Choose from chrome's about pages, *NewTab, Extensions, Downloads, History*, a few popular URLs, or provide your own. Your custom tab can also be a local file, allowing you to create your own new tab page. Saving blank text will cause your new tab to be about:blank.

Files can begin with: file:\\, file://, and file:///

Important: This is not meant to replace your homepage, only new tabs. If your browser is set to load the New Tab page as your homepage, there may be odd consequences.

Note: Because this extension perform a "redirect", I have no control over address bar highlighting or focus.

AI product read

Allows users to set a custom URL that loads automatically whenever a new tab is opened in Chrome

Chrome's default new tab page cannot be customized natively. This extension lets users replace it with any URL — a favorite website, a Chrome internal page (like chrome://extensions, chrome://history), a local file, or about:blank — giving users control over their new tab experience.

User installs extension → opens Options page (options.html) → enters a custom URL or clicks a one-click popular/Chrome page link → clicks Save → every new tab automatically redirects to the chosen URL. Settings are stored in chrome.storage.local and optionally synced via chrome.storage.sync.

Target users: Chrome users who want to customize their new tab page / Power users who prefer a specific landing page (e.g., a dashboard or blank page) / Users who want quick access to Chrome internal pages as their new tab

No login or paid feature signals were ambiguous — the extension is straightforward free utility code with clear local-only storage logic. All keyword hits (pro, license, auth, upgrade, sign-in) were false positives from vendored libraries (Angular, FontAwesome) or unrelated contexts (CSS progid filter, MIT license, changelog version upgrades).

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is completely free with no gated features, no payment/subscription logic, no billing APIs, and no tiered plans. The only payment-related artifact is a voluntary Patreon donation link on the 'Donate' tab of the options page, which does not unlock any features.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: No authentication, login UI, or account creation exists in the extension. Settings are stored locally via chrome.storage.local (and optionally synced via chrome.storage.sync, which uses the browser's own Google account sync — not an extension-specific login). The core workflow (set a URL → new tab opens that URL) works immediately without any login.
