Disclaimer: Know Your Limitations
It's important to note that the New Tab Redirect Chrome extension is specifically designed to change your new tab page, not your homepage. If your browser is set to load the New Tab page as your homepage, there may be some unintended consequences. Additionally, as the extension performs a "redirect," it does not have control over address bar highlighting or focus.

Superb
If you encounter a blank page, try reinstalling the extension and reapplying the permissions. This resolved my issue.
Simple and straight forward just works!!!! Thanks
As it is, it seems to work well enough. But... WHY does it need and keeps nagging me, with an obtuse message to "allow management access to access all your apps!". Seems odd, in there are no "apps" I wish this extension to "manage" for me.
I found the fix to the "blank page opening" on local HTML file redirect issue! In Extensions, locate New Tab Redirect, click Manage Extension, then turn on the switch for "Allow access to file URLs".
Works on edge: the idea to check chrome webstore for an extension for edge wouldn't have crossed my mind in a million years, but it here it is, so 5 stars to the programmer. rajesh4life said "Edge will initially disable it on installation to "protect" you, so you'll need to Manage Extensions and turn it on from extension Manager, then set your preferred URL". After following his instructions it works for me.
I used this for many years with no problems. On 9 December 2023 I updated ChromeOS and now all New Tab Redirect does is give a blank white page instead of the "page of links" local HTML file that I have always had listed in the box for "Redirect URL".
I use this extension multiple times a day! It works amazing alongside TeuxDeux. Love it.
It would probably be awesome if it worked, it probably worked for most people but still a cool concept just need a bit refining instead of going to a white screen for some, but hey it was probably really hard so claps to you!
It still does not work at all with a local file. A blank page is displayed, no error code or nothing!
Use this for quick access to the links from local file on PC. Thanks that you added the feature to support local file, since new chrome new rules about local files.
Thanks for fixing the file permission issue which came along with Chrome v118. I am very happy to have my new tabs from a local file working again! Great extension / great author!
