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.

URL is focused, but not selected. Slow redirection, title blinking.

This provides a capability that should have been built into Chrome but is not. I rely on it. It works well without you even knowing it is there.

Works really well and does what should be a default feature(waiting to see if Google coders ever get their heads out of their lower digestive tracts and do this.) In the meantime, thanks for helping to make Chrome functional.
