Override the Chrome new tab page with a webpage?

QUESTION

Override the Chrome new tab page with a webpage?

Asked 2017-Sep-22 at 23:02

Is there a clean way for a Google Chrome extension to set a non-local webpage as the new tab page while also keeping the omnibox cleared or highlighted?

The chrome_url_overrides.newtab option in the extension manifest only allows local HTML pages.

Right now, I see two options:

iframe the webpage in the local extension page. However, many websites won't work properly when iframed.
Redirect the local new tab page to the webpage. However, this does not reliably highlight the omnibox, so users have to manually set focus to the omnibox before typing, which is a poor user experience.

The ideal solution would keep the webpage be the top frame of the new tab page, and the omnibox would be either cleared or highlighted.

Additional info:

There's an ongoing, unsolved thread on this topic here for the Chrome extension New Tab Redirect.
Using chrome.tabs.update to redirect the new tab page has historically highlighted the URL. However, this appears to be undocumented and unreliable. The highlighting broke in Chrome 34 and appears to be broken now in Chrome 61 (a bug I just reported).

Right now, this isn't quite possible. I've opened a feature request for Chrome extensions to better support this use case.

The two options in the meantime are:

On the local extension new tab page, create an iframe to the webpage.
In an extension background script, listen for new tab creation and update the URL to a website. This looks something like:

If you use the built-in New Tab Redirect Apps page, you will be able to type directly into the omnibar. If you use a custom url, the architecture of the extension can not allow for focusing or clearing of the omnibar. Google Chrome extensions do not currently have access to interact with the omnibar for highlighting after the new page is created. There is an experimental API to retrieve values and detect user input in the omnibar, but it does not allow extensions to highlight the text. I've tested version 1.0.1 of New Tab Redirect! across numerous developer builds, and the cursor only occasionally ends at the end of the omnibar. However, this is handled by Chrome itself and can not be modified via the extension. As soon as Chrome offers this functionality, I will implement it. Until then, it is possible to use CTRL+L to quickly highlight the omnibar.
