I want to open a tab and nothing but a tab. So far, I have used New Tab Redirect! and specified a blank redirect URL, which becomes about:blank. But when I press CMD/CTRL + T it gives focus to the location bar but puts the cursor after about:blank. Is there a way to either clear about:blank entirely or select all the text, so I can start typing straight away and not have to CMD/CTRL + A and backspace/delete?

EDIT:

I tried :

html {
    display: none !important;
}

With the stylish plugin for URL chrome://newtab but it didn't work.

There's the "Blank New Tab" extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pfdloiaebhgmjpaclbbodcmlmppkakjh

Should do what you're looking for.

When you press CTRL+A or CTRL+L it will select the whole location bar.

The backspace key is not required, when text is selected and you start to type the text will disappear.

If you are happy getting your hands dirty with a bit of CSS, then I'd suggest using Stylish to alter the default tab page - it leaves the location bar blank.

Chrome Settings > On startup > Open a specific page or set of pages. Set pages (Click and type below line)

display:none

Note : Make sure no spaces are copied before and after the above line.
