I know that we can override in-built webpages via 

"chrome_url_overrides": {
        "newtab" : "newtub.html"
    },

and then modify newtab.html to whatever page I want.

My question is if I have a new_tab.js, Can I just run this script on chrome://newtab rather than creating newtab.html and then running new_tab.js on top of it.

I want to remove icon thumbnails(which I can do by making them hidden in new_tab.js) and keep the wallpapers.

Edit : One shitty workaround is zoom-out to 50%

  • Extensions can't modify the contents of the new tab page. You can only override it. This is intentional. – wOxxOm May 22 '19 at 07:13
  • Can you explain the security reason behind this? Like why allow Extensions to override contents of other sites and not new tab ? – Jenil Mewada May 22 '19 at 07:28
  • The new tab is a browser UI page. – wOxxOm May 22 '19 at 07:54
