Как её настроить ? Мне не нужен какой-то левый поисковик , по-умолчанию - яндекс , а с этой темой в новой вкладке - НЕ яндекс ! Где хоть какие-то настройки у этого раширения ?

Amazing! I can toggle it for only some sites to use, I use this all the time for Google Docs! It sometimes breaks only on Google Docs though but turning it off, reloading the page, then turning it on always works like a charm. The best extension out there, it even changes the font color to be readable unlike some extensions I've used. Edit: I suggest everyone NEW to NOT install this. The extension is vastly different and no longer offers the same features. Do NOT install this extension. Feels like bloatware. If you already have it installed, don't update/uninstall it. You'll lose a really good extension if you have the old version.

Love the hotkey support. It even remembers your settings for certain websites (Some websites I want the extension to be off and it remembers me not wanting the extension to apply to these websites)

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.

Dark Theme - Custom 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 Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

Dark Theme - Custom New Tab has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
