A better new tab experience

Custom new tab URL plus auto pinned tabs on every new window. Your cursor stays in the address bar.

Add to Chrome

Free. No account required. Privacy-first: minimal anonymous usage counts only.

Simple, but powerful

New tab redirect

Configure a URL; new tabs open there via tab update (not redirect). Your cursor stays in the address bar so you can type immediately.

Auto pinned tabs

Save a pinned-tabs profile. New windows (Cmd+N / Ctrl+N) automatically open with those URLs pinned.

Get it

  1. Open chrome://extensions

  3. Click "Load unpacked"
  4. Select the extension folder

Frequently asked questions

Developer

Hey, I built this extension as a solo developer because I kept opening new tabs and new windows without a consistent setup. I wanted my dashboard in every new tab and my go-to tools pinned in every window—without thinking about it. This extension does exactly that. Hope it helps you too.
