Simple New Tab URL Extension

Very similar to other \"New Tab URL\" redirect extensions but this one is stripped down to the bare essentials. There are 4 options available:
- URL you want the new tab URL to be
- whether you want the URL to be auto-highlighted/selected on new tab page load (or if you want the focus on new tab load to be on your page)
- whether you wish to enable a light mode theme (it currently defaults to a dark theme)
- whether chrome should sync this setting

Note: If your new tab url is a local file (i.e. it starts with \"file://\" rather than \"http://\") then you will have to enable the \"Allow access to file URLs\" permission for this extension on the Manage Extensions page.
