Chrome extension: how to clear address bar?

How to clear address bar (url) after chrome.tabs.update? I use 

chrome.tabs.onCreated.addListener(function(taba) {
    chrome.tabs.update( { "url": "http://site.ru"} );

});

But I need clear address bar in Chrome, after page is loaded.

Manifest:

{
"web_accessible_resources": ["icons/", "icons/icon-18.png", "icons/icon-64.png", "icons/Thumbs.db"],
 "browser_action": {
"default_icon": {                 
            "19": "icons/icon-64.png",          
            "38": "icons/icon-18.png"            
          },
 "default_title": "site"}, 
 "name": "site.ru", 
 "icons": {"128": "icons/icon-64.png"}, 
 "manifest_version": 2, 
 "version": "2.0",
 "background": {
      "page": "index.html"
   },
 "permissions": [ "cookies","contextMenus","tabs","webRequest","storage",  "http://*/*", "https://*/*"], 
"description": "site.ru"
 }

Must be another way. I want loading some url, when this is new tab, but in address bar field must be empty. Any thinks?

The chrome.tabs.update method can receive a callback function. In that callback function you can call a chrome.tabs.executeScript to inject a script into the page.

That script can use the History API to change the url and not trigger a reload.

If you have set permissions in the manifest than you can modify it.

   chrome.tabs.update({'url': 'http://chromium.org'}, function(tab) {

      chrome.tabs.executeScript({
           code: 'history.replaceState({}, "", " ");'
      });
    });
