Vimium: Way to allow vimium on new-tab extension?

Created on 26 Sep 2015 · 4Comments · Source: philc/vimium

One of best new features is that vimium not works on new tab. Thank you for that! I've been missing it.
But the problem is it does not work on new tab if some new-tab-extension is installed. Is there a way to allow vimium? I am ready to make an extension at least for myself just to support this cool feature.

BTW vimium works for me on Chrome 45 on windows and even Chrome 44 on Ubuntu. Chrome 47 is not required.

I use this, which works well if you don't particularly want anything in a new tab.

Those new-tab extension pages all have URLs like chrome-extension://...., and -- unfortunately -- Chrome doesn't run other extensions on such pages. If you were to write your own extension, there may be a way to load the vimium scripts, but I'm not sure.

Came here to ask this myself. Truly sad that it doesn't. Kinda ruins the functionality for me, but I get that it's an issue with Chrome itself.
