Doesn't work anymore. Not sure when this stopped being supported, but new tabs won't redirect to anything besides the default new tab.

Good.

Loads my desired URL in a new tab and highlights the address bar. Exactly what I was looking for. Subtracting 1 star because the hideous button keeps appearing over and over even when I remove it from the Chrome menu.
