>  When the default new tab has already annoyed you

# Motivation

One day, I realized that the default new tab consumes resources even when it's not active. Ridiculous!

# Demo

Check out the [Demo page](https://khmm12.github.io/minimal-chrome-tab/) to see it in action!

# Advantages

- Lightweight 🪶

- Supports light/dark mode 🌓

- Nice look 💅

- Suspends when is not active 🔋

- Blazing fast ⚡️

- No analytics and spyware 🕵️‍♂️

# Screenshots
