Feature Re-Request: Bring back blank page for new tab

[marc1uk]

Description

As per Issue #1872 one cannot not set a blank page as the new tab. This issue was referenced to issue #993 which is marked Completed and (it's a little unclear to me but if i'm interpreting correctly) seems to be described as fixed in release 0.58.x.

Running 0.58.18, it is not fixed. Please re-open.
