## Description

New Tab Redirect lets you replace the default new-tab page with any website you choose. Simply enter your URL in the extension options, then open a new tab (click + or press Ctrl+T) and the extension will quickly create the new tab and redirect it to your specified page.

The add-on works fast and seamlessly: when a new tab opens the extension page loads, redirects to the URL you set, then closes itself—leaving you on your preferred site. Ideal for custom homepages, dashboards, web apps, or business pages that you want instantly available every time you open a tab.
