Programmatically (or optionally) override Chrome's New Tab page

Question

I\'ve written a Chrome extension that overrides the New Tab page:

manifest.json:

  \"chrome_url_overrides\": {
    \"newtab\": \"new         


        

Answer 1

Instead of using the chrome_url_override you could write a listener that listens for when tabs update using the chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(), then check if the url is chrome://newtab/ and if it is and the check box is ticked, then using chrome.tabs.update() relocate them to another page.
