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.

As it is, it seems to work well enough. But... WHY does it need and keeps nagging me, with an obtuse message to "allow management access to access all your apps!". Seems odd, in there are no "apps" I wish this extension to "manage" for me.

I found the fix to the "blank page opening" on local HTML file redirect issue! In Extensions, locate New Tab Redirect, click Manage Extension, then turn on the switch for "Allow access to file URLs".

オンラインのURLを指定するとちゃんとそのURLにリダイレクトしてくれるが、ローカルファイルを指定(file:///C:/hoge/foo.htmの形)するとまったく動かない。 2023年10月くらいまではローカルも呼べていたのだが、その頃のアプデ以降ダメになった。

Works on edge: the idea to check chrome webstore for an extension for edge wouldn't have crossed my mind in a million years, but it here it is, so 5 stars to the programmer. rajesh4life said "Edge will initially disable it on installation to "protect" you, so you'll need to Manage Extensions and turn it on from extension Manager, then set your preferred URL". After following his instructions it works for me.

I used this for many years with no problems. On 9 December 2023 I updated ChromeOS and now all New Tab Redirect does is give a blank white page instead of the "page of links" local HTML file that I have always had listed in the box for "Redirect URL".

It would probably be awesome if it worked, it probably worked for most people but still a cool concept just need a bit refining instead of going to a white screen for some, but hey it was probably really hard so claps to you!

It still does not work at all with a local file. A blank page is displayed, no error code or nothing!

Use this for quick access to the links from local file on PC. Thanks that you added the feature to support local file, since new chrome new rules about local files.
