Also, the keyboard cursor won’t be active at address/omni bar. Note that this extension does not work well when you have set new tab as homepage. You can also create your own HTML page and load it with new tab by specifying local file location in the destination box. To change the new tab destination again, you will now have to navigate to extensions page > New Tab Redirect > Options. You can choose from a list of popular pages or select any Chrome pages from the second list.Īfter you save your destination from the options, click on the new tab icon to see the desired page loaded instantly, replacing the default Google search box and most viewed site thumbnails. Once you install the extension, the ‘options’ page will open up where you can enter the URL you want to make as a default destination.
