Dark New Tab Extension

What?

A minimalistic new tab page replacement for Chrome. This empty new tab page fades from black to dark grey; easy on your eyes.

Why?

1. Default Chrome new tab page makes network requests and show thumbnail images of previously visited sites
2. Dark New Tab requires minimal system resources; everything is contained in a single HTML file; not a line of JavaScript is loaded and is lightning fast
3. Dark New Tab doesn't blind you with a white page; the background fades from black to a gentle grey
4. I wanted to minimize distractions
5. I want to use Dark New Tab across all my devices 🙂

Pairing Suggestion:

Dark New Tab goes well with most dark themes, including \"Just Black\" dark theme from The Chrome team (Google).

Gen xx (ID: 00000039fe415a0e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/28/2023 Can the fade be disabled? I just want a simple black blank page - no fade, no blinding white flash like with redirects i've tried.

Auryn Holmes (ID: 000000aed3164b47) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/05/2023 Perfect, did everything I wanted. Love the subtle black-grey to dark grey animation. Love no text in the new tab page. No notes 😎👍
