Comment #19 on issue 68 by bekkra: Allow New Tab page to be replaced by user specified homepage http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=68
I wonder if this latter 'performance' issue can be reconsidered. If all you want to do is to "enter a URL for new tab", then a "Go to URL on a new TAB" GUI element may do what you really want, since the creation of the new TAB is only a way to start a new. If what we want is to open the tab with the home page, a "Go HOME on a new TAB" function is satisfying. It is always healthy to question specialized functions, but I have the idea what to do in the GUI for this: provide the drop-down ( menu ) additions to the HOME and the GO buttons. Minimal clutter, easy semantics ( although invisibility ). So a better idea would be similar drop-down functionality for the [+] element: new TAB new TAB for New Tab page new TAB for HOME page the last as specified by options. // -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
