One Blank Tab

Keep only one standard Chrome New Tab per window. Choose whether the old or new tab stays.

Too many empty New Tabs? One Blank Tab helps keep your browser a little tidier. When you open or move a standard Chrome New Tab into a window that already has one, One Blank Tab automatically removes the duplicate. Every window can still have its own New Tab. Choose what happens when there are duplicates: • Keep existing tab — remove the newly opened or dragged-in New Tab. • Keep new tab — remove the older New Tab instead. Open the extension's toolbar popup to change your preference. Your choice is saved automatically. Why use One Blank Tab? • Fewer redundant New Tabs cluttering each Chrome window. • Works when you open additional New Tabs or drag a New Tab between windows. • Regular website tabs aren't intentionally removed. • No account, subscription, analytics, or network connection required. Note: This extension targets Chrome's standard New Tab page, not all empty pages such as about:blank. Duplicate removal may take a few seconds in some cases. The tabs permission is needed to identify and close duplicate tabs. The storage permission saves your chosen setting.
