Hello I want to develop a browser extension and I saw that the guidelines say extension can only have a single purpose, I understand that this makes sense for extensions that live only in the popup.html but what about an extension that focuses on the new tab, all that space for a single purpose?I mean when I look at popular extensions like Momentum which uses the new tab page even they have Fotos, Todo, Notes, Countdowns, Metrics, Soundscapes, Pomodoro Timer, and more...This for me also violates the Guidelines. I mean I would love that new tab extensions are excluded from this rule because the new tab gives us space for more complex extensions and in the end, the user installs the new tab extension because he wants these features on new tabs. Like I said I understand the rule for popup-only extensions but not for the new tab. Can anyone give more information on that?

"Single purpose" can refer to one of two aspects of an extension: 1) a narrow focus area or subject matter. or 2) a narrow browser function.
