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.

Works fast on my macbook (maybe it hesitates half a second, but nothing significant. I can still right-click search (some reviewer said this was broken for Mac).

Super! Endlich eine nervige Sache weniger! Es braucht kein zweier zu sehen, was die meistbesuchten Seiten sind.

It could offer "home page" as general variable choice, but ok, it is possible to paste concrete URL and it works. Surely better than normal low-end demo Chrome from Google.
