Simple New Doc Extension

Opens a new Google Doc on click. That's it.

For those of us who hate having the bookmarks bar up but want an easy one-click method to create a new Google Doc. Simply pin the extension and you’ll always have a button on screen for a new Doc!

Super simple & lightweight script - checks that “chrome://” is not in the current tab url, and then opens “https://new.doc” in a new tab. Not allowed to fire scripts on Chrome pages and this includes the New Tab page so the extension will only work if the current tab is in-use and not a New Tab or Chrome settings.
