Extension Usage Instructions

                        Minimal New Tab - Remove Google Doodles while retaining the stock aesthetic.

All in one drop in replacement for the Chrome new tab.

I really don't like google doodles on my newtab pages. Unfortunatly due to some chrome premission settings the chrome://newtab page is unable to be hooked. And thus we can't just block doodle requests.

Features
- No Google Doodles
- No "Helpful tips"
- True Dark Theme
- Chrome Top Sites
- Custom Top Sites
- Search Bar with Suggestions
- No configuration required
- Fast!
