Google-chrome – How to set Chrome to open a New Tab Page at startup rather than the last visited page

google-chrome

When I open a new page on Google Chrome, it pulls up the last page that I was on when I closed out instead of the new tab page. How can I fix this?

If you go into your settings menu, you can select startup behavior to be either

  1. Open the New Tab Page.

  2. Continue where I left off.

  3. Open a specific set of pages (with a "Select Pages" link to configure those).

In your case, you'll want to select the "Open the New Tab Page" option.

You can get to the settings by clicking on the button generally found to the right of the Address Bar marked by 3 horizontal lines (appearance may vary by version or themes you have applied).
