Start Clean New Tab Page Lite

Open a new tab with a clean & fast ui, no search

Start Clean New Tab Page Lite is a streamlined Chrome extension designed to replace the default new tab page with a clean and fast user interface. Unlike its full-featured counterpart, Start Clean, the Lite version removes the search functionality, allowing the focus to remain on Chrome's omnibox (address bar) whenever a new tab is opened.

This extension prioritizes simplicity and speed, offering essential features such as quick access to your most visited sites and installed apps, which can be toggled on or off in the settings. Users can also add custom links to personalize their new tab experience. Start Clean Lite is ideal for users who prefer minimalism and efficiency over overwhelming options, making it a great choice to complement Linux desktop environments.

With regular updates improving stability and bug fixes, Start Clean New Tab Page Lite provides a reliable, no-frills solution to streamline your browsing workflow and enhance productivity without unnecessary clutter.

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.

Start Clean New Tab Page Lite requires very minimum permissions.
