New Tab Blank Black Page Extension

Make your New Tab a simple Blank Black Page :)
If you like a New Tab to open quickly and contain nothing this is the Extension for you. Get rid of the default Chrome New Tab and it's slow-loading privacy-pooping \"Recently Opened Websites\" icons.

Why did I write this Extension? Because I don't like the default Chrome New Tab, and most importantly I want my New Tabs to simply be a blank black page. So here it is!
As Eric S. Raymond said \"Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch.\"

You may also be interested in my \"New Tab Custom Colour Blank Page\" Chrome Extension which allows you to choose the background colour, available here:

Enjoy!

One Man Enclave (ID: 000000dc1753eab4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/08/2020 It even makes it so that when you hide the bookmarks bar, it remains hidden even on new tabs! I really hated when the bookmarks bar was shown on a new tab even when I set it to be hidden.
