Chrome Developer Tools

I am just starting the Javascript course and this question may suggest I am not smart enough to continue! When the instructor opens the Google Chrome Developer tools he does so in a blank tab so the developer tool is blank except for some HTML. I cannot find any way to open a blank tab in Chrome and or get a blank developer tool screen. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks so much.

Hey,

I create a HTML page using my text editor, save it, and open with Chrome. Is that the sort of thing you wanted?

Once opened in Chrome, I click the [Menu] button, then [Tools], and finally [JavaScript Console]

=)

To get a blank tab in Chrome you now have to either type about:blank in the Address Bar, or install an extension called "Empty New Tab Page" which you can download from the Chrome Web Store.
