On Google Chrome<\/a>, you can disable the New Tab page to start quickly with a blank page using an extension, and in this guide, I will explain how to accomplish this configuration on Windows 11<\/a>, 10, and other platforms.<\/p>\n

Although the New Tab page has a minimalist design, some users may still find it cluttered with the search box, shortcuts to frequent websites, and account information. In the early days of the browser, there was a command option to disable the experience, but that’s no longer an option. In the Chrome settings, you can specify a custom website to launch on startup, and as you create a new tab page, there isn’t an option to show a blank page.<\/p>\n

However, if you want to disable the New Tab page, you can use an extension known as “Blank New Tab Page,” which replaces the tab default experience with a blank page since you cannot configure the settings to “about:blank.”<\/p>\n

In this guide<\/a>, I’ll show you an alternative way to disable the New Tab page on Chrome.<\/p>\n

Disable the New Tab page on Chrome<\/h2>\n

To use a blank page for new tabs on Google Chrome, use these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Open Chrome<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Open the “Blank New Tab Page”<\/strong> download page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

  3. \n

    Click the Add to Chrome<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

    \"Blank<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Click the Add extension<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Click the Keep it<\/strong> option in the warning to change the New Tab settings.<\/p>\n

    \"Chrome<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once you complete the steps, a blank page will appear the next time you create a new tab.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    It’s important to note that this extension follows the color mode of the browser, so if you’re using the light mode, you will have a white page, but if you use the dark mode, then you will have a dark blank page instead.<\/p>\n

    If you don’t want to use the extension anymore, you can open chrome:\/\/extensions<\/code> and click the “Remove”<\/strong> button for the “Blank New Tab Page” extension.<\/p>\n
