User reviews

My old redirect stopped working. This is the fifth one I've tried since Chrome's major update, and the only one that works. Thank you!

It does not work for me. The url that I specified is file:///C:/ddrive/webpages/main.htm. When I open a new tab, I see a blank search bar.

It works with the current version of Chrome, and, as advertised, it is VERY FAST. I also love that a new tab clears and focuses the URL bar so you can immediately begin typing a search.
