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.

It's nice to have the apps page back. But manually selecting address bar every time is frustrating.

Google messed up the NTP, and this extension is what exactly I was looking for.

Only work-around I could find for the overly redundant giant google search bar you are forced to use in the new tab after chrome 33. Not sure why Google needs to fix things that are not broken with chrome.
