About Custom New Tab URL

Customize the new tab URL. Chrome doesn't allow you to configure a new tab URL. It always opens its New Tab Page with a search bar and some browsing history. With this extension, you can use the options page to store a link to a page or even a path to a local file that will be loaded when a new tab is created. It is very lightweight and easy to use! 1. Open [chrome://extensions/shortcuts](chrome://extensions/shortcuts) 1. Set the shortcut to `Ctrl+T` 1. Set url in settings
