Step 1: Install the Notion New Tab Extension

Go to the Chrome Web Store and install the Notion New Tab Chrome extension.

Step 2: Log in to Your Notion Account

After installing, open the extension and sign in using your Notion account.

Step 3: Choose What Opens in a New Tab

After login your Notion account and go to:

Settings → Preferences → Desktop app section

Under this section, select what you want to open when you click on a new Chrome tab:

Step 4: Open a New Tab

Step 5: Enable or Disable Anytime

You can turn this feature on or off anytime from the extension settings.
