Overview

This extension replaces Chrome’s new tab page with one that attempts to be similar to the default, minus all the junk that Google keeps adding that makes the page worse.

More specifically, the page includes bookmarks and shortcuts, but there’s no enormous Google logo, redundant search field, Google account header, network requests that spam the JavaScript console with warnings, or “Create theme with AI” promotions.

Note: Chrome 138 displays an ugly footer across the bottom of the new tab page by default. You can hide it by right-clicking on it. See https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensions/c/DNj1B3vywr0.
