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.

Jim - thank you for the quick fix for allowing the cursor focus on the search bar. You're #1 with me and my fellow colleagues for great attention to details. Thanks again and may I suggest you to other users.

Great extension and fantastic developer. However there a problem as noted by many, upon opening a new tab the focus is on the URL bar now. Please could it be changed back or made an option.

Thanks for all the hard work on this. However, the 3.1 version now focuses the address bar automatically instead of the page body. I'm sure this feature is useful to someone but can we have an option to disable it for those of us who don't want the address bar focused? Thanks!

This extension does its job, and does it well. Same issue here with the google "search field" (no omnibox) not focused on new tab, everything else perfect !

When opening a new tab, the url in the url field is no longer selected, so you have to manually select it, before typing a new one. I'll also leave the rating at 5, also hoping this is just temporary.

The newest update puts the cursor up in the address bar instead of in the Google search bar!
