## Description

Custom New Tab lets you take full control of your browser's new tab page. Choose from three modes: redirect to any URL, display a solid background color, or upload your own HTML/CSS file for a fully personalized experience.

Pick from preset URLs like Google, Reddit, YouTube, DuckDuckGo, and more — or enter any URL you want. Use the color picker for a clean, minimal look. Or go all-in and upload a custom HTML page as your new tab.

The extension is lightweight, works offline, and respects your privacy. It only uses the storage permission to save your settings — no data collection, no network requests, no tracking. Supports both dark and light themes in the options page. Works in incognito mode when enabled. Under 100KB total size.

Whether you want a distraction-free blank page, quick access to your favorite site, or a completely custom dashboard, Custom New Tab gives you the flexibility without the bloat.
