Overview

Customize the new tab URL.

Chrome does not let you customize the new tab page. The new tab page always opens a custom Google Search page, and Chrome extensions do not work on this page. This extension lets you point the new tab page to a URL of your choice. It can be Google.com, your company's homepage, or a blank page. It is lightweight on your browser (<50kb - compared to, for example, Grammarly, which is 36MB), has no tracking, and is straightforward to use. Some popular choices: 1) Google - https://google.com 2) Voice In Notepad - https://dictanote.co/voicein/notepad/ 3) Bing - https://www.bing.com 4) ChatGPT - https://chat.openai.com 5) Blank Page - about:blank You can also set it to a local file path like file:///C:/Documents/test.html . You can set the URL to an internal page like chrome://apps too. Customization: 1) Focus on the address bar on the new tab page: When checked, the focus and cursor are in the address bar when you open a new tab page. When unchecked, the focus is on the page. If you want to disable the custom new tab extension, you can do so by going to chrome://extensions and disabling this extension.

Everything is working fine for external URL's, but when I am trying to serve a local HTML file it says with a warning "If your URL is a local file then you will have to enable the "Allow access to file URLs" permission for this extension:" When I click on the grant Permission button, it takes me to the extension settings, but I dont see any option to grant permissions for the extension. Could you please help me in find that?
