NewTab Adapter

Take over browser's new tab settings and open another configurable URL
What is NewTab Adapter?
'NewTab Adapter' is a Chrome extension that empowers a user to take charge of their browser's new tab settings. It offers the ability to specify any URL as the default new tab page, and provides the option to focus directly on the page content rather than the address bar, breaking away from the standard default. Furthermore, the extension enables key mapping features through Vimium C, reducing Vimium C's memory usage significantly.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension manages your browser's new tab settings, so that you can get page content focused when creating new tabs, instead of (the default) focusing on address bar.

It has configurable settings to specify any URL you want as the real new tab page, and control whether focusing page content or not.

It provides a blank html page to work as the default new tab page, and this page will try to load scripts from the extension Vimium C, so that you may use Vimium C's key mappings on the page.

It also provides a vomnibar.html so you may set Vimium C's "Preferred Vomnibar Page" to chrome-extension://cglpcedifkgalfdklahhcchnjepcckfn/vomnibar.html , and then Vimium C's memory cost will be much less.

This extension works great. Vimium C is a life changer. I hope this doesn't get taken down as Google is warning.

This extension has been working very well for many years. It's a pity Google came up with some not following up with best practices nonsense.
