Extension Usage Instructions

                        What?

A minimalistic new tab page replacement for Chrome. This empty new tab page fades from black to dark grey; easy on your eyes.

Why?

1. Default Chrome new tab page makes network requests and show thumbnail images of previously visited sites
2. Dark New Tab requires minimal system resources; everything is contained in a single HTML file; not a line of JavaScript is loaded and is lightning fast
3. Dark New Tab doesn't blind you with a white page; the background fades from black to a gentle grey
4. I wanted to minimize distractions
5. I want to use Dark New Tab across all my devices 🙂

Pairing Suggestion:

Dark New Tab goes well with most dark themes, including "Just Black" dark theme from The Chrome team (Google).
