Black New Tab is a minimalist Chrome extension that transforms your new tab page into a solid black screen. This dark theme option reduces eye strain and creates a sleek, distraction-free browsing environment. While the extension focuses on simplicity, it currently does not support moving the browser focus to the address bar due to browser limitations. If support is added in the future, the extension will be updated accordingly.

Ideal for users who prefer a clean, dark-themed browsing interface, Black New Tab offers an elegant and straightforward way to customize your Chrome experience without unnecessary clutter or distractions.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Black New Tab requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Can alter new tab settings; fairly benign but with some capability to affect user experience.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Black New Tab is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
