I deleted that, and now use Blank New Tab Page from the link below:

How to Customize the New Tab Page in Google Chrome

The default Google Chrome New Tab page probably works fine for you, but it could be a lot better. You can add shortcuts to websites, change the wallpaper, and see where you left off in Google apps. It’s worth customizing, and it’s easy to do so.

Yep, I like a blank new tab page, so I used Bruce Blank New Tab on Chrome (because it also works in-cognito-mode) and since I switched to Edge chromium Blank Tab (Edge has an option to auto delete all history on close).

I didn't understand. You mean after you switched to the Edge, now you use " Blank New Tab Page"?

For Google Chrome I use
Empty New Tab Page - Chrome Web Store
chrome.google.com

Empty New Tab Page - Chrome Web Store

With this extension, new tabs display a blank page instead of the usual new tab page with thumbnails.
chrome.google.com chrome.google.com

I'm not using Chrome at the moment, but for me I don't really need it in Chrome because Chrome's homepage is fast. MS Edge's home page is problematic, slow and resource hungry.

Resource hungry? Yes. I like the daily images and weather and I don't find it slow at all, but I can't compare it to chrome as I can't even remember when I last used it. But Edge does have too much feature bloat, even if some of it may be disabled.

I use Home button all the time in all browsers and when I click the home button sometime Edge's CPU usage jump to 10-15% often. Often, the home page also renders with a delay when I click the home button.
Then there's also this on the bottom left of the home page every time when I click any site from my address bar bookmarks. It sometimes adds a delay in page loading.

Chrome can also be set up to load new images automatically on the home page, but it doesn't use many resources or add any delay in rendering the homepage.
Actually I also like those new images on Edge, so I put up with these issues.
One more thing, Chrome still beats Edge in startup time. Not by much, but it's very noticeable. I expected Edge to catch up with Chrome by now on this, since Edge is finely optimized for Windows, but it hasn't happened yet. The home page related issues that I mentioned could be one of the reason why Edge starts slower than Chrome. Edge starts up faster than Firefox though.
