# overrideNewTabPageURL

The URL to use as an alternative to the default new tab page, if the extension has one.

```
var overrideNewTabPageURL: URL? { get }
```

## Discussion

Provides the URL for a new tab page, if provided by the extension; otherwise `nil` if no page is defined.

The app should prompt the user for permission to use the extension’s new tab page as the default.

> Note: Navigation to the override new tab page is only possible after this extension has been loaded.
