Here's what I used today and it works, giving access to the Tabs API (though I don't like that way it works);
{
"name": "NewTab",
"version": "1.0",
"description": "Opens new tab pages blank, or with your own HTML page.",
"background_page": "background.html",
"matches": ["http://*/*", "https://*/*", "file://*"],
"permissions": ["tabs", "http://*/*"],
"run_at": "document_start"
}
and you can check for newtab in code;
<html>
<head>
<script>
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId, changeInfo) {
chrome.tabs.get(tabId, function(tab) {
if (tab.url.indexOf("chrome://newtab") != -1)
chrome.tabs.update(tab.id, {url: "about:blank"});
});
});
</script>
</head>

How about an easy solution to turning off the "most visited" tabs for tech dummies without having to change to the Dev version that is too complicated?
