Default Is there a newsgroup for the Chrome browser? [new tab page]

(Not a forum.)

What I wanted to ask is: how do I set, if I can at all, what a new tab
opens as?

In Firefox, I can choose (IIRR) that a new tab opens as my home page, a
copy of the page I'm on when I click new tab, or blank; something like
those choices, anyway. (I have it set to blank.)

In Chrome, I can't find any way to set it. (It currently comes up a the
default Google page.)

The options here, don't exactly leave a warm feeling.

This shows some of the controls, but I don't particularly
like the options offered... at all.

To have chrome startup as a blank page, put the URL 'about:blank'
noquotes into the On startup section in settings.

To have chrome open a new tab as a blank page, use the extension Blank
New Tab Page.

Thanks - but that is just a way of opening the settings "page" in a new
window rather than a new tab. The actual content of the window that
results is the same as what opens in a tab (rather than a window) if you
access the settings in the usual way.

Heaven forbid today's audience should feel bombarded with information or
worse, lectured. Dont'scare the horses by waving facts around.

Wow, you need an extension just to do that! (The page Barry Schwarz
found links to the same.)

Seems to be it.
And it works! Thanks.

I did look before asking, and found that. I don't think it had any posts
later than 2017, several from 2012, and mostly about Chromebooks, the
Chrome operating system, and other matters: I don't think I saw _any_
about the browser.
