A minimalistic grey new tab page for Google Chrome. No external network requests. No analytics. No tracking. No bullshit.

Dark New Tab
Description from store

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).

beautiful. Well done.

Thank you for not making the new tab page "completely empty with nothing on it at all except for buttons which let you send the creator money", unlike a certain other extension.

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.

Perfect, did everything I wanted. Love the subtle black-grey to dark grey animation. Love no text in the new tab page. No notes 😎👍

Just turns whole page dark grey. No Google, no shortcuts, no bookmarks.

I would rather it have an option to disable the unnecessary animation. I will look for a dark grey bew tab extension without any animation added.

I spent an unhappy hour looking for a BLACK new tab. I get migraine from high contrast and bright screens. Finally I found it. No white, no text, no time display, just beautiful black. Perfection. Thank you!

Exactly what I was looking for! No more getting blasted by a white flash when opening new tabs while using Dark Reader. Thank you! Dark Reader and Dark New Tab should cross promote each other ;)

As described. Would be nice of you could skip the animation in options though. But, the default "New tab" in Chrome uses 90MB of memory and is phoning home and this one only uses 16MB.
