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.

Does exactly what I needed it to do. When I open a new tab it opens as my home page that I set.

1.52MiB (4MiB unpacked) for a new tab redirect functionality? Are you serious? Also, even with that task the extension coping worse and slower than analogue that takes 14 lines of code.

"Always update tab, not redirect" is working again in Chrome Version 84.0.4147.89 For a few previous versions it wasn't working which was a Chrome limitation and not a fault of the extension.

Extensions like google spreadsheets and Documents dont work if you click their button, it says Request to the server have been blocked by an extension , only if you try the option below the icon.

This is amazing, avoids company enforced page for new tabs. Is there something similar for the home page and start up page?

Active cursor feature is broken. So annoying.

When I open a new tab, the first thing I want to do is start typing the URL of the page I opened the new tab to get to. The cursor isn't in the address bar when I open a new tab, and if it was I'd need it to have the URL highlighted so I can overwrite it as easily as if the URL bar was empty like it is on the Chrome default new tab.
