Empty New Tab Page Extension

For those who don't want to worry which recently visited pages show up on the new tab page, who prefer plain over noisy, simple over complex.

Version 1.2.0 adds dark mode support.

Version 1.3.0's only change is to use manifest_version 3. For this extension, this does not affect behavior at all. The change is required to keep the extension listed in Chrome Web Store.

Justaguy (ID: 000000e8b299dbfe) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/31/2023 ITS SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVE IT SO MUCH The reason i got it was because the new tab page was so laggy this helped my computer run faster! 20/10 i currently have 100 new tabs open as writing this, my computer isnt even reacting

Steve (ID: 000000825913156f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/16/2023 It messes up ALL tabs, not just the new one. You restart chrome; it loses all open tabs.

Peter Morrison (ID: 000000917fe48534) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/22/2023 Saved the day in Microsoft Edge too. So sick of waiting for their trackers to take my data before it would load any page at all. Lightning fast now.

Mattias Pamdal (ID: 00000034d4348934) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/22/2023 Great, just let us switch between dark mode & light mode. I have dark mode in Windows, but light mode in Google Chrome, yet it shows the dark mode background instead of the light mode background.
