About Minimal New Tab

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!
