New Tab is a customizable Chrome extension developed by Shyam Nair. This free add-on falls under the category of Browsers and the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools.

The main purpose of this extension is to allow users to decide what page loads when they open a new tab. With New Tab, users have three options to choose from. They can either stick with the default new tab page, have a blank page open, or set a custom page based on a URL of their choice.

Additionally, New Tab offers a convenient feature that allows users to open a new tab next to their active tab. This can be done by either pressing Ctrl+Shift+Y (for Windows) or Command+Shift+Y (for Mac), or by simply clicking on the extension icon.

Overall, New Tab provides a simple and efficient solution for customizing new tab settings in the Chrome browser. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for additional features, the developer encourages users to report them in the reviews or support section.
