Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Chrome doesn't allow you to configure a new tab URL.

It always opens its New Tab Page with a search bar and some browsing history.

With this extension, you can use the options page to store a link to a page or even a path to a local file that will be loaded when a new tab is created.

It is very lightweight and easy to use!

For people who prefer dark mode, try enabling the following Chrome builtin flag:

chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark

Perfect doing what it says. One thing is that this extension not removing path from URL box. and it's not possible from page due security of Chrome. If it possible please add the clearing option.

There are many good newtab-redirect extensions for Chrome, and "Custom New Tab URL" is one of the best. If you are trying to override a different extension's newtab page, you should test this one and others for compatibility with your particular extensions. If you prefer Google as your default page, try these URLs: "chrome-search://local-ntp/local-ntp.html" or "https://www.google.com/webhp" -- for optimal functionality.

Love that it keeps the omnibox (search/url bar) in focus so you can still search instantly.

I love everything about this app except the fact that it works as a redirect rather than an actual URL load. When I installed it and ran it (started a new tab), Chromes' classic new tab loaded first and then was redirected to Custom New Tab URL settings. Fix this bug and you get 5 stars. Specs: Windows 10 64-bit Chrome: 65.0.3325.181
