Same as with any extension.
Find it in the Chrome Web Store, install it, and set it up.
With New Tab Redirect (and there are others I'm sure, that's just the one I use) you can set any URL as the new tab page.

I always prefer the new tab extensions that "convert" your bookmarks into "thumbnails" displayed as a grid for your "new tab page".

I've used one called "Speed Dial" in the past (forget which one, there are a TON that go by that name at the Chrome Web Store).

I currently use "Visual Bookmarks" - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/visual-bookmarks/jdbgjlehkajddoapdgpdjmlpdalfnenf

Yes, I use one of those 'speed dial' extensions too!
The one I use is called 'Speed Dial [FVD]' and it's great.
I actually have Supermium set up so that I get the speed dial page when I hit the 'home' button, but I keep the normal new tab page for start up and when I open a new tab.

I've not used that one.  Downloaded just now but not installed.

The source code seems to suggest that it throws advertisements.

The .json then loads ads into frames.  Appears all of the ads come from "everhelper.me".

But most ad-blockers would block it anyway.

[Dave-H]

Off-topic of course, but if there are ads on the dial pages they are probably being blocked by uBlock Origin in my case!
It does have 'sponsored dials' but they can be deleted.
There is also a 'sponsored' page, which is the only one which can't be deleted, but I just ignore it.
The sponsored dials don't seem to invade your own customised speed dial pages, I'm glad to say!
I like it because I think it's very well-designed and extremely customisable.

... Wasn't/isn't there a native way to do that, without any such extension? Below, a screengrab from a Sm-132 copy:

Sorry, I can't see your image for some reason ('content not available in your region').

I'm sure you're right, but I have split the home page away from the new tab page, which may be the issue.
It probably isn't an issue with a standard installation.

He used "imgur".  Here it is "direct" to MSFN.

Thanks!
Yes of course, I'd forgotten about that flag.
@DrWho3000
That is the easiest way of changing your new tab page back to what you want.
No extension needed!
