justin (ID: 000000b1352f8290) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/20/2023 Doesn't work in incognito, even with checkbox enabled.

Bart Achilles (ID: 000000b0ecf03981) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 Opens new tab with a defined address, in my case a local html. Great :D

Jo Li (ID: 00000055f05f9257) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/17/2023 It works perfectly in the main browser window. Super-fast redirect which works for local files even with the latest Chrome update (v118). However... it doesn't work under Incognito Mode even with "Allow in Incognito" enabled. And that's mostly what I wanted this for, since the other "New Tab Redirect" extension stopped working. Can't say as I recommend this, as of now.
