These will only be visible for empty history thumbnails on new profiles for new users. There are example mockups here: https://twitter.com/clarkbw/status/433333066514198528

That thumbnails page is the first thing I disable in my Firefox, so I am mostly unconcerned.

Then again, "first they came to add ads to thumbnail tiles, I didn't speak up because I don't use thumbnail tiles..."

I'm pretty sure that thumbnail ad tiles isn't going to lead to a Holocaust.

This reminds me very strongly of the Opera web browser...

Safari also has a similar pre-filled splash screen, last time I checked. I wonder if IE still defaults to showing msn.com?

Most other browsers do this and collect some revenue from it. Either showing just in-house ads (G/M) or sponsored ads from partners (O).
