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.

This is perfect to fix Google's inability to leave the new tab page alone. Now I can view my apps again!

With Speed Dials shady service and Googles horrid looking new tab page.. I decided I would design and code my own home/new tab page. This extension is a life savor as it is a feature chrome is severely lacking! I can direct the new tab page to any html file on my hard drive or any link on the web. It runs very smoothly and setup was quick and simple. Thank you guys!

When I open a new tab, I want my home page, not some other page. Love this extension, works perfectly.
