Change Google chrome homepage by extension

Question

Is there anyway to change google chrome homepage url by an extension. I'm trying to write a simple extension which can change homepage url.

Hope you can help me.

Answer 1

It is possible, and a quick search reveals that such an extension already exists.

If you want to do it yourself, you can have a look at the Override Pages documentation. You can change the New Tab page, and therefore can simply implement an HTTP redirect in Javascript to the page you want.
