Overview

Want a blank new tab and nothing more? Try this extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/odjfoclbnmllekbhpbgopiiaelcpeimb ★ Theme background When Clear New Tab is installed and the "Theme Background" mode is chosen, backgrounds of themes that you install in the Chrome Web Store will be automatically downloaded and appear in the new tab.

How to search the web? You can search with the address bar. There's no bookmarks bar in the new tab. Why does Clear New Tab hide it? Clear New Tab doesn't hide it.

Make sure that "Settings context" is set to "Global". Theme’s background doesn’t fit the screen, can I fix it? Select "Cover the screen" or "Fit to the browser window" option in the "Background size" select. Links added as custom HTML are not working. How to fix them? Add target="_top" to the <a> tag. Example: <a href="https://www.microsoft.com" target="_top">Link</a> ---------------------------------------------------------------- Known issues When a theme is being installed options page opens.

Absolutely brilliant!!!!! Loads of extra goodies like: eleminates the white flash when you switch between tabs; it also resolved Chrome not keeping my uploaded browser images; and I can now change the size of my browser images. I have searched for all these functions for years and now I have them all curated in one beautifully packaged extension. Thank you!
