New Tab Override

Nice and all...but... successfully set the New Tab to Google search engine, but when I press the Enter key it creates a new line instead of searching. I tried setting the New Tab to other search engines (like Bing, etc) but the same thing happens. After typing in my keywords and press Enter, it creates a new line instead. Have to press the "Google Search" button to do the searching, which is ugh!

I'm rating this 4 stars to support the dev because I love that the keyboard focus remains in the browser address bar. But there's a fatal flaw (for my usecase): I cannot specify an URL starting with "chrome-extension://" (I need this for the Session Buddy extension)

Make it black screen on new tab please. its flash-banging my eyes. tried replacing page with site with black screen but it just adds extra processing and also displays a white screen until the site fully loads so can't be it. otherwise pretty good extension.

It seems to be very slow (tested on multiple fast devices on different fast networks), when trying to load in certain websites, and if the website does load it's sometimes missing images for some reason. Pretty generous giving it 4 stars.

Doesn't work with local files. I set it to open a local html file on my desktop and it just opens a blank new tab.

Does what it says: Take control of your tabs. IMHO This is a responsive developer who is making life better. Thank you.

Works like a charm. I especially love the fact that it highlights the addressbar after opening a new tab, so I can immediately start entering a search or website address.

Why does it have to read all data from all pages?

It doesn't, that's just the name of the permission required to update the new tab page with whatever page you wish, as explained in the overview. Not sure why Google doesn't allow it as a separate permission.

Extension options, as with all extensions. Although in v1.2.0 I've added the extra option of just clicking the icon.

I wanted to keep the chrome://newtab feature with my 10 prefered urls showing under the search field. and I wanted to focus the search field (and not the address bar). I guess it's not possible to have both with this extension ..

Not what this extension is intended to do, please read the overview.
