New Tab: Custom URL

Set your new tab to a custom URL, local file, browser page, or quiet blank page.

New Tab: Custom URL lets you choose what opens when you create a new tab. Use a website, local HTML file, browser page, or a quiet blank page. The extension is intentionally small and does not include analytics, ads, content scripts, search changes, background scripts, or broad site permissions.

Chrome does not allow New Tab override extensions to replace incognito new tabs. Browser-controlled address-bar behavior can vary across Chrome and Chromium versions.
