Description

Redirects your 'new tab' to an external website.

A basic extension to redirect the 'New Tab' to an external site of your choosing.
Make sure you keep seeing your notes or important info when you're browsing.

A minimal extension; no background scripts or unnecessary permissions.

For issues and suggestions open a github issue.

Backend Description:
The extension implements a temporary 'New Tab Page' that when loaded, immediately queries the extension storage for your set redirect page, and then proceeds to redirect.
Removed any background scripts so that it only runs when you initiate it.

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

Simple override for Chrome's forced-default Google search bar.
