Download Install Compare

Custom New Tab is a versatile Chrome extension that replaces the default new tab page with any URL you choose. Unlike other extensions, it allows you to customize the background color before your specified URL loads, offering a smoother and more personalized browsing experience. The background color intelligently defaults to black or white based on your system's dark/light mode preferences if no color is set.

Additionally, Custom New Tab enhances usability by keeping the keyboard focus in the address bar during loading. This ensures any typed text remains intact, preventing accidental deletion and streamlining your workflow. Experience a customized and efficient new tab with ease using Custom New Tab!
