Although this app used to be necessary, Chrome now has this feature built in. Go to settings and then performance.

When opening a website in a new tab by clicking on a hyperlink with the middle mouse button or right click > open in new tab, an about:blank screen appears instead of the website.

Does what it suppose to do but buggy. Breaks open in new tab. Seems inconsistent as to which tabs to discard.
