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.

Works great to get rid of dreadful default Newtab, if you don't have a custom one in mind. However, there is one HUGE flaw; if your browser crashes and you lose all your tabs, you have only a split second to restore your session before that bar disappears. Perhaps your tabs will still be in your history, but if they're not, you might be in big trouble. I simply cannot recommend this app with this huge problem

Despite all the options I'm sure many find nice, the single one I care about is to set my new tab to be my Home Page, which is in particular a custom one on my PC, something this extension seems to be quite incapable of doing? If it can do so, making it a simple option would be wonderful.

Works as advertised. This should be implemented as a default option in Chrome. However, the Devs of Chrome seem to think they know best. Many thanks to the writer of this add on!
