What? The answer is ALWAYS. Set your start page to be `about:blank` and you see a blank page. I've had this as my starting page in every single browser since the 90s.
- hollerith 5y agoI am not able to in Chrome Stable without an extension. Searched chrome://settings for "tab" and "page".
- forgotmypw17 5y agoSorry, but this option is not available at least as far back as Chromium 65.x
- jenscow 5y agoThat's "start page", not "new tab page"
- hnburnsy 5y agoYou can have about:blank be the on start up page and the home button, but not for new tabs. You used to be able to do that. Won't be surprised when start page will need to be an https link, you know for security reasons.
- jaclaz 5y agoAs a side note, only yesterday (on a Windows 7, so not an issue related to the latest Windows) I couldn't initially connect with Chrome to a (of course local) oldish router (actually an access point) to change a setting (Wi-Fi channel) because it "talked http" while Chrome wanted a "https" (for security reasons).
