"chrome_url_overrides" not working in Incognito mode

Reported by somethin...@gmail.com, Jul 14 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Use "chrome_url_overrides": {"newtab": "new.html"}
Allow the extension in Incognito

What is the expected behavior?
It should change the new Incognito tab page to new.html

What went wrong?
The code works well in normal mode, but not in Incognito. The new tab in Incognito is still the default new tab. Please check out my manifest.json

Did this work before? No

Hmm, this looks not a regression - can anyone confirm this is an expected
behavior?

I confirm it on Linux, but there is a good chance that it's the intended behavior.

Devlin,
What do you think?

As stated in [1], newtab page cannot be overridden in incognito mode.
So this is the intended behavior.
