One small thing that I don’t like in Chrome is the inability to set a ‘New Tab’ to a blank page. I want something ridiculously simple. The existing new tab extensions were all more than I needed.
It turns out that overriding new tab via an extension is really easy. So I wrote one: Chrome: Intentionally Blank Tab.
A dozen lines of JSON and a dozen lines of HTML produces the super simple new tab page I was looking for.
