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.

This is great, but I have one big complaint: it loads the page's URL into the omnibox. That makes it really difficult to quickly type an address, even when the cursor is in the omnibox... instead, I have to select-all, delete, and then type.

새탭추가를 스토어에서 깔아서 적용하는게 크롬이 생각하는 편리함과 빠름이라는 건가.

Simple and does the job. I've tried others, but always come back to this. 5 stars!
