For those that want a completely blank New Tab page without any content.

This extension will not display a Bookmarks Bar and is completely empty. If you want a blank New Tab page that still retains the Bookmarks Bar, please install this extension instead:

This works perfect. Now when I open a new tab and quickly paste a URL it goes where I want. Previous to this extension, I would put the URL in too fast and before it could go to the page the new tab search screen would clear the url and load. This is just super, thanks for the extension.

Great plugin! When I used to open a new tab on the Google search page it used around 5% CPU doing nothing. Its down to zero now! Thank you.

Very simple, very effective. Thank you. Was getting a Microsoft Bing page with all their ridiculous celebrity gossip and a bunch of other nonsense.
