Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:5 mcs]:
 > I am in favor of leaving the new tab page as about:blank. It loads very
 fast and most of the time when I open a new tab I know where I want to go
 (so I just start typing it in the URL bar). For me, a page that contains
 any content at all is just a distraction. But maybe I am in the minority.
 +1, FWIW you aren't in the minority.
