лучшее, ничего лишнего

A+ Does what it says, AND requests the minimum of permissions. Much of the competition for this function looks like spyware to me. Currently better than smblot's 'New Tab URL' (https://github.com/smblott-github/chrome-new-tab-url) slightly, because it focuses keyboard in the address/search bar upon opening the tab -- expected Chrome behavior. Google really, really needs to just put this functionality in the browser natively.
