Nothingness

About

Nothingness is a Google Chrome extension by Refueled. It replaces your New Tab page with a completely blank, empty page. There are similar extensions, but always add crap you don't want. This extension is simple, has no adds or anything else but an empty tab.

It collects no data and requires no permissions. Nothingness does one thing and does it perfectly: gives you a clean, distraction-free new tab every single time.

Features

• Overrides chrome://newtab with an empty white (or black in dark mode) page.
• No UI, no permissions, no background scripts, nothing else.

Installation

1. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/
2. Enable "Developer mode" (top right).
3. Click "Load unpacked".
4. Select this nothingness folder.

Homepage / Home button

Chrome extensions cannot override the homepage or home button to a local/extension page (or data: URL).

To also get a blank page for the Home button (Alt+Home):

1. Go to chrome://settings/appearance
2. Turn on "Show home button"
3. Choose "New Tab page"

Now both new tabs and the home button will show the blank page.

Files

• manifest.json — declares the new tab override.
• blank.html — the empty page (adapts to light/dark).
