I use about:blank (empty page) via this extension. [0]

I don't need a new distraction every time I open a new tab.

thanks! What do you usually do after Ctrl-T?

I type the URL of the website I want to visit into the URL bar. Usually I only need to type a few characters to find the match. I also have autocomplete and preloading disabled, so that text I enter is not sent to any remote server before I press the return key.
