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.

Great app. I set it to open Google when I open a new tab. I recommend this app.

Gotta have this extension on Microsoft Edge. The NTP in Edge is super annoying and one can't get rid of it. Why is the new tab page in Edge so bloated? Chrome and Chromium's is very minimal and not annoying.

Fine app and does what it's supposed to. Only gripe, minor one, is that the new tab doesn't start with the focus on the URL bar, but a quick tap of F6 remedies that so minor detail.

The default new tab in chrome is ugly, flashbangs me when it's dark, and isn't form-factored correctly for ultrawide monitors. The Google homepage, on the other hand, is clean, has a dark theme, and is form-factored correctly. The solution -- this extension.

It works well (Ms Edge disable every time the browser updates but of course it is due to ms)
