What Chrome-native://new tab/ is ???

I am using android device and my Google activity is showing Chrome-native://newtab/ previously it was Chrome://newtab/. Does that mean someone is accessing my phone...??
 
Hi there, chrome://newtab/ and chrome-native://newtab might appear on your Google Activity screen if you're a regular Google Chrome user on the Android OS. This definitely does not mean that someone is trying to get access to your account. This just signifies that while using Chrome you had accessed its New Tabs. Most of the URLs like chrome://version, chrome://settings, etc. are all related to Chrome and are used to access its different inbuilt pages. For ex: chrome://settings will take you to the Settings page for the Chrome browser where you can customize it according to your needs, and chrome://version is used to find out the current version of chrome you're using. There is really nothing suspicious about chrome-native://newtab or any other URLs that might look like this. Hope this answers your question if you've any other doubts do ask them in a reply.
