Open My Notes with 1 click on the icon

[penge]

There are many great extensions that replace New Tab, but only one extension can do this at a time (which puts other extensions to the side).

I'll chose a different approach:

1 click on My Notes icon will open My Notes in a New Tab

This will have several benefits:

• New Tab remains unchanged, makes extension less intrusive (it doesn't override the settings)
• User continues to see bookmarks in New Tab (setting that bookmarks are automatically visible only in a New Tab)
• User is more in control (when to open My Notes, and how many times to open it)
• Newly open Tab can have favicon (My Notes icon)
• The extension does not override New Tab and can live alongside other extensions

Downsides:

• New Tab open this way will have an URL that might not be "nice" as it will be a path to the extension

I am reopening this as it will be part of 2.3.

Instead of opening My Notes with 1 click on the icon only, I'll add optional New Tab Override (this is how it works now although not optional at the moment) on top of it.

In other words, 1 click on the icon will always work. New Tab replacement will be optional (by default on) and will be set via the Options page.

Current progress: Done.

Edit: New Tab replacement will be on by default. After some transition to this new version, it can be turned off by default.
