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.

Chrome will auto-focus the omnibar (URL bar) if you put in "//" as your new tab page URL. You will, however, not be able to also load a page - it'll be blank. Just found out through trial and error.

It was working fine till chrome version 19. But after updating chrome to version 20 (I am on Mac OS Lion), it crashes randomly. This is a very nice app but it need to be fixed for the latest version of chrome.

My problem was that when I opened a new tab it would not load the page I wanted. Also the Home button would not go to my home page in a new tab. This extension fixed it. Thank you for doing what Google wouldn't!
