Issue

Chrome v61 broke the New Tab Redirect extension slightly:

• Before v61, a new tab would redirect to the desired page, put cursor in the address bar, and select the whole URL (screenshot 1). You start typing, the selection is replaced, only what you typed remains, plus any autocomplete suggestions (screenshot 2). Normally, I just need to type n, chrome knows I mean Netflix, suggests that, and I can press Enter.
• With v61, a new tab redirects to the desired page, the cursor is in the address bar, but the whole URL is not selected (screenshot 3). If you start typing, what you type gets prepended to the URI (screenshot 4). I type n, I have nfile:///home/jacek/start.html with the cursor after n. The extra keystrokes to get rid of the URL are annoying.

Workaround

Until Chrome is fixed (if it ever is), here's my workaround: put start.html into my own extension.
