Open New Tab with a Blank Page Option
This is a very small thing, but I would love to see Edge Chromium allow an "Open new tab with a blank page" option, as Edge Classic does.

Thank you @tomscarbach. I will let the New Tab PAge folks know about this ask.
- LTJan 07, 2023Copper ContributorWas anything ever reported back to you from the New Tab Page folks, in relation to this request?
Currently I use a third-party extension ' Blank Tab' to achieve this, which in my mind opens all sorts of security concerns.
Can we not just have the option for a blank tab, or an option to specify a default page such as about: blank

Adding to this, I would appreciate if you guys exposed the local new tab page. I would love build my own NTP or make modifications to the default local NTP.

Actually, you can make a chrome extension to do this. I have already made one. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jmbngnnlimnakiibacglaeflpghellfh
You can check out developer.chrome.com for more info.- _shellprompt1515Apr 19, 2019Iron Contributor
Interesting. I don't have any experience with JS, but building a NTP override extension should be the perfect thing to get me started.
