Tobias Heck, 2024-09-24This fixed the always opening to chrome://new-tab-page-third-party/ since this doesn't seem to be something you can remove in the settings.

colin sixty two, 2024-05-23Empty pages finally! New tabs open so quickly now, no waiting for pointless things to load that I'm just going to replace in a moment anyway with the new URL I'm typing into the address bar. It also seems to reduce the annoying bug in Chrome where sometimes I'll type a URL, press Enter, and await for the new website to load, only for Chrome to completely ignore my Enter keypress (which seems to happen if I type the URL too quickly because it's still doing something in the background, but maybe with the empty tab, it's ready for input sooner). I don't see why chrome://settings doesn't just have this option in the first place so I can put about:blank in there.
