Round robin different urls #180

Hey there,

Thanks a lot for your work, I stumbled upon your extension a few weeks back and I'm hooked.

Context: During the general lockdown and the remote work practice that follows, we want our coworkers to keep looking at the dashboards that are hanging on TVs a bit everywhere in our office.

Solution: Changing the default tab behavior seemed like the most elegant, non-intrusive, yet highly effective way of achieving this goal. Surprisingly, chrome doesn't let you do that, and then comes New Tab Redirect.

The only limitation is that we have several such dashboards, and it would be simply amazing to have the ability to give three different urls that would alternate in round-robin (or randomly).

Would you consider adding this feature?

Maybe you can setup a URL with a simple script that does exactly that:

Then you can just setup that URL in New tab redirect for all your users
