Reviews of change new tab:
Very minimal, works as intended. It doesn't focus the address bar by default, but you can do **Ctrl + L** to focus it.
It was great when I started using it. Now I have been plagues with opening Edge and it being painfully slow. Tracked it down to this extension. It tries to load "extension://mocklpfdimiadpbgamlgehpgpodggahe/r/r.htm" and takes an eternity. I've removed it and all is good. I can type www.google.com faster than waiting for this extension to load it and whatever other things it's trying to do.
I love the extension. It works fine. I recently upgraded Google Chrome to Version 87.0.4280.88 and it stopped working.I would like to contact the developers and get some help with this but I am not sure where to find their contact information. Does anyone know this information?
I've bee looking for such an extension for ages! thanks and please cache the default tab web page so it shows up even in offline mode ♥
it works
Nice! Works. Love how small. BUT: I use this extension for Edge. Would be better if option to activate address-bar on new tab. Then it would match normal Chrome behavior. I prefer ability to type a URL on new tab. Can't do that with this extension.
I think the extension is overall wonderful and minimal but there needs to be an option for dark mode. Please add it in a later version.
Like others said, it would be better to have an OK button for confirmation when you enter your URL, but it only takes a few seconds to realize it saves the address after closing the popup you enter it into. Not enough of an issue to deduct any points for, because it does exactly what I want and doesn't ask for any unnecessary permissions.
Does a great job of allowing you to choose which web page opens when a new tab is created.
Doesn't give an option to change the URL just opens a new tab on a blank white page.
Does exactly what I want, i.e. open my home page (or any other url) in the new tab.
I prefer that the focus is not forced to the address bar. My new URL is the Google search page - so the focus remains where it should be for searching. However the entry box for the new URL could be improved - there is no confirmation or OK Button to exit the URL setup - you just close the whole popup using the X top right. Changing the X to an OK button would make it more logical.
The problem is, when you CMD+T for a new tab, the URL bar no longer has keyboard focus. This slows up typing of an actual URL.
I don't like that it loses the focus of the address bar. I prefer the one called Replace New Tab Page.
Thanks for building the most minimal version of this service! One minor note. It should automatically focus the address bar upon opening new tab, but current version does not.
really helpful!
Simple, does what it needs to and nothing else.
A+ Does what it says, AND requests the minimum of permissions. Much of the competition for this function looks like spyware to me. Currently better than smblot's 'New Tab URL' (https://github.com/smblott-github/chrome-new-tab-url) slightly, because it focuses keyboard in the address/search bar upon opening the tab -- expected Chrome behavior. Google really, really needs to just put this functionality in the browser natively.
