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.

Good, except that moving items up or down the list crashes it. I still use it though. Easy layout

Love it. Great 'Permissions' setting's Implementation which warns users that "some extension settings (not just NwTbRedrt) whether default or customized can capture data and present security danger" showing user/prog'er./dev's script examples and potential risk. even extrapolating the consequenses; revoked publication for undefined/indirect or even worse potential INTENTIONALLY Omitted potentional exploit... This is Very good ideology, 'security is not a noun to be bartered with, sold or purchased so ether practice it or don't and suffer' no one can be trusted with it unless they SHARE Its RISK EQUALLY with YOU and ONLY for as long as YOU SHARE THAT RISK. - Shared risk is rarely the case on the web. so take it on yourself, you can only prove EQUAL RISK with parties whom use the same network, for all you know the security they use is switched when you leave. (LOL, prob. not unless there was potential gain from deceiving you)

Does exactly what I wanted! Now I can make my New Tab Page open up to whatever I want (Bing in this case), thanks Jim!

Good extension. Slow redirect time. I start entering something in the address bar, and 15 seconds later Google.ca will finally show up.

One of the best for redirecting you new TAB to a specific site.

Slow, used to hitting new tab and typing as keyboard entries are kept in buffer. Not with this app. Speed varies but if you don't mind waiting for the redirect to pop up before typing (1 -7 seconds) then it works good.
