Overview

Allows a user to provide the URL of the page that loads in a new tab.

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. *********** Report Bugs *********** https://github.com/jimschubert/NewTab-Redirect/issues *********** Legal Stuff *********** I am not affiliated with Google or Google Chrome.

The only one that will properly set focus away from the address bar and into the new page! I just wish it were smaller/simpler. I don't need the extra bells and whistles, and it takes 1.5MiB when it could probably be a mere <100KiB.

The extension does what it says... but why Chrome is missing such a simple function? Why do we need to add extensions for such a small thing that should ne normal default in ANY browser! Why Chrome doest switch to the new tab by default? Shame on Chrome...seriously!
