I made this Google Chrome extension which replaces the default new tab page with a blank screen 🌈 Also have a dark mode 😎 button in case you want it to be dark.
Hi Product Hunters 👋 !!
This is my project that solves my own problem 🚀
🤔 Problem
Nowadays, the web is full of distractions. Emails, news, social media, shitty ads, and yada yada. Even opening a New Tab is distracting 🙃.
Right now, we have daily.dev, a Web extension that will get you the hottest 🔥 coding news from the best tech blogs on any topic you can think of in every new tab.
Or panda 🐼, your favorite website in one place.
But, as the web 🌐 and world 🌎 already bloated with tons of stuff. I have a tendency to be a minimal person. I want to remove stuff from my life. I want to spend my free time doing nothing 😊 like playing guitar, make an art, and so on.
I wanted to go back to the days where you could have `about:blank` as your new tab and it would show you a plain white page. Like a fresh sheet of paper waiting for you to write on.
💡 Solution
I made my own Chrome Extension. I name it Blank New Tab 🔥.
Its have what I needed;
✅ Blank page in New Tab
✅ Same background color as other native Chrome tabs
✅ Same title as the default new tab page ("New tab")
✅ Dark Mode button 😎
I hope you like it and solve your own problem too !!!
I also write ✍️ a blog post on why I build this simple thing 😉;

Congrats on the launch and thanks for mentioning daily.dev here 😊
p.s.
We have a brand new web app that you can use whenever you want (rather than every new tab). Made with a lot of ❤️ for devs just like you. It’s still in beta but feel free to try it out: https://app.daily.dev 🍻
@nimrodkramer Hey Nimrod 👋. I'm sorry for mention the daily.dev . Your app is so cool !!! It is just me wanted to have a clean blank tab. I will use that beta app !!
@saurabhyadav Thanks Saurabh !!! means that it have like small button option to hide the toggle button at the top right ?? Hmm, sounds cool. Or, I can make another extension which is dark or light mode by default so that the button is gone ?? which one is good for you ??
