Cannot set new new page tab

[davidwf]

Is it possible to make (say) Google my home page for when I select NEW TAB?
I can make the page blank or I can make it select the dashboard but am having difficulty with that

It’s possible if you set Google as your homepage.

1. Open brave://settings/appearance via the address bar.
2. Enable Show home button.
3. Choose the second option → Enter custom web address → https://google.com.
4. Open brave://settings/newTab via the address bar.
5. New tab page shows → Homepage.

Thank you for your quick reply

I want to display the Google search page when I click the “+” button to add a new tab….I can do that on Chrome for example……

[Rethanis]

Yes, I understood you. That’s exactly what you would achieve if you follow my instructions.

[davidwf]

OK, found this which opens Google page

But the cursor remains in the address bar rather than in the Google search box

[Rethanis]

That’s not something that can be changed via settings. Feel free to open a Github report so developers can take a look.

[davidwf]

OK, how do I do that ?
