Do people actually look at what's on the new tab page?

Now? No. Every browser I use is configured to show about:blank as the new tab page.

If I had an extension showing me cognitive biases, or Emacs tips? Maybe. Hard to say without trying it out.

If you're going for Emacs tips, an Emacs package may be more suitable than a web browser extension.

It was just an example off the top of my head, since I’ve been trying to get into Emacs a bit more.

But while I’m here, I know that Emacs users are fond of telling people how they’re using Emacs incorrectly, but I think this is the first time an Emacs user has told me that a hypothetical example involving an external tool is using it incorrectly.
