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.

meh, it does what it says it's supposed to do, but when my computer runs out of charge and the "would you like to restore your previous session" comes up when i reopen chrome, it automatically disappears before i get the chance to click "yes". Disappointing...

Thank you thank you thank you. This gives me back what I used a new tab for...the list of apps I have. Not sure what google devs of chrome are thinking...but not letting the users of your browser use it the way they want, is a terrible idea.

New update is broken. It used to clear the address bar after loading about:blank. I can no longer hit ctrl-t and just begin typing.

This is what I need - but could you set it up to clear the address bar once a new tab is opened? I hate having to clear out the text to enter something new.
