Today one of my colleague pointed that when you open the new tab on Chrome and check the console, there is message - SW registered (newtab?ie=UTF-8:8)

I think, it has something to do with Service Workers.

To see more, go (in your DevTools) to "Application" -> "Service Workers". There you find the "new tab service worker" and which version it's running.
