it's the best one for this purpose

The new tab is pristine, pure white, but there is one issue. In Chrome, when a new tab is opened, even hidden bookmarks toolbar shows once until clicked on a site URL or is removed after we visit any website. But this extension hides the bookmarks toolbar until we manually pull it to the forefront. Will give a 5-star after the issue of showing bookmarks tab on a new tab is fixed. Nevertheless, great extension!! Great job!!
