title: Chrome Extension: Open tab without popup
body: <p>I've used the following code in my popup.html file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"&gt;
      chrome.tabs.create({'url': chrome.extension.getURL('page.html')}, function(tab) {
      });
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I click the extension icon a new page does open, but so does an empty browser popup near the button. How do I open the tab without the empty popup appearing?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
