Override the new tab page with a blank one

What is New Tab?
"New Tab" is an Edge add-on that provides a simple yet effective solution to a cluttered and distracting browser. It overrides the default new tab page, replacing it with a totally blank page. This helps in avoiding unnecessary distractions and ensuring maximum productivity while browsing. It gives the user the power to dictate what they see instead of being bombarded with unwanted content or ads.
