Do-it-Yourself, DIY a bar ~

First, preparatory work
1, Notepad software, recommended the use of notepad++ for editing
2. Prepare picture material


Second, the principle of introduction
The essence is to make the custom HTML file a Chrome new tab page


Iii. introduction of the method

Step One: Create xx folder
Note: 1, which xx can be replaced by any name you want, the same
2. Files created in subsequent steps should be placed in this folder

Step two: Create a Manifest.json file
Create a TXT file first
Then edit it with Notepad or notepad++
Enter the following content {
"Name": "XX",
"description": "XX startpage",
"Version": "1.0",
"Chrome_url_overrides": {
"Newtab": "Xx.html"}
Copy Code

Save and name the file Manifest.json (Note: File name extension is JSON)

Step three: Create a xx.html file
is still the first to create a TXT file
Then edit it with Notepad or notepad++, then change the file name to "xx.html"
Note: If there is Chinese in the content, it must be encoded in UTF-8 format
Children's shoes that are familiar with HTML code are free to play.
Unfamiliar also doesn't matter, here are a few ready-made templates
Ⅰ, Chrome start pages by =white-baron

Link Address →link
Download Address →link
Complete the HTTP address in the HTML file Ⅱ, Cloudglass startpage Chrome by_pu22pu-d3er09c
Link Address →link
Download Address →link

For this design, the individual prefers, so I added a bit, did an extension
The effect of the following figure

Accessories Download: Ⅲ, concise type
1, if it is only a blank label page, then you can not edit, directly saved as a xx.html file can be
2, if you want to have a blank label page background, then follow these steps to do

Step four: Use Chrome for packaging
1. Click on the chrome wrench → tool → extender (or enter chrome://extensions/directly in the address bar)
2, click the developer mode
Then you'll see
Developer Mode: Loading the Extender being developed ...  Package Extender ... Update Extender now


Select Package Extender ... ", browse the Extender root directory, select the XX folder you started, and click OK
3, XX.CRX file will be in the XX folder in the folder in the generation, the CRX file dragged into the Chrome browser window installation can

Well, it's done, and the new label page is your custom one.
Note: If you want to uninstall, just uninstall the xx extension in the Extender



Postscript

The advantages of using this method are:
1, the perfect solution to the Chrome new tab open a blank page or a Web site problems
2, can play strong, want to do how to engage
3, through the expansion of the implementation, and the expansion does not account for memory, convenient and lightweight, but also easy to uninstall

The disadvantages are also obvious:
Lost the basic function of displaying the most frequently visited Web sites, installed applications, recently closed URLs, and so on Chrome default new tab pages.
In the course of the experiment, I wanted to use the HTML file to fill in the chrome parameters, the way to open history, and so on, but found that Chrome does not respond to this, only right click on the new tab open to open the page.

Inspiration Point:
Chrome can open PDF file because of its own PDF plugin
With this feature, you can also fill in the URL of the file where the PDF file is located in the HTML file (but must add the file:///prefix), so that the browser will not be able to see the function of the local ebook.

Finally, hope to have interest in the children's shoes, do a good job with everyone here to share ~ ~
It's better to be alone than Lele.
