Thank you! Had to start using Chrome again and spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do this on my own. Easy to use and no clutter or "extra features" -- bless you Joshua!

After testing a bunch of these redirect I've found this one to be best mostly because it after opening a new tab it direct focus to the search bar allowing you to easily enter a URL
Downsides are that the pop out to enter the redirect URL seems a bit buggy. The pop up was tiny (maybe a quarter inch) and I could barely enter the site name and save. Also there is a ~half second delay when opening up a new tab
