Review Summary
Users generally appreciate "Dark New Tab" for providing a simple, free, and effective solution to enable a dark mode on new tabs, reducing eye strain and improving browsing speed. However, multiple users criticize the extension’s persistent on-page buttons and donation advertisements that conflict with its promise of a clean and blank new tab, alongside a lack of customization options to hide these elements. Additional minor issues include occasional white flashes on new tab loads and poor discoverability in the Chrome Web Store.
Pros
- Provides a simple and effective dark mode for the new tab page, reducing brightness and eye strain.
- Free and lightweight, it can improve browser speed.
- Easy to use with minimal design that meets the need for a clean new tab experience.
- Helps users who have system-wide dark mode but are blinded by a white blank tab.
- Appreciated by users who want a dark-themed new tab without complex settings.
Cons
- Includes persistent buttons on the new tab page that some users find unnecessary and intrusive.
- Contains a monetization link/button (like PayPal donation) shown every time a new tab opens, which contradicts the promise of a 'completely empty' or 'blank' page.
- Lacks settings or options to hide buttons or customize the experience according to user preference.
- Some users experience a white flash when opening new tabs, reducing the smoothness of the dark mode effect.
- It is not easily discoverable via Chrome Store search, so users must find it via direct links.
