its pretty cool and stuff but damn the background looks like it got taken from the dark web, kinda unsettling tbh

Have used a few blank tab extensions before. I love this one. I thought I wanted pure black, but the little bit of muted texture on the black page looks really good. I've now switched to this one on all my computers and chrome profiles.

Beautiful. Doesn't need access to sites I visit. Doesn't read or change anything on all the sites. It's just basic plain page without any privacy intrusions.
