## Description

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.
