Comment (by 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.
