The Ad removed version of Modern New Tab Page extension for chrome browser.
An short introduction for the original version goes here.
I like the Modern New Tab Page extension but it is removed from Chrome Web Store because it has Ads. Chrome will automatically disable it even if one manages to install it from somewhere else.
Therefore, I removed the Ads and repacked it with my private key. Chrome cannot identify it hence Chrome wouldn't disable it anymore.
- Download from here .
- Drag the crx file to chrome://extensions/ page.
- Clone this repo.
- (optional)Verify the code is safe to use by yourself.
- Enable developer mode at chrome://extensions/ page.
- Choose "load unpacked extension...", and then select the directory of the repo you just cloned.
If someone wants to publish this version on Chrome Web Store, be my guest.
