    Plus, I used to set my new tab page to Google, but God, it’s so bad. There’s always some stupid image for some stupid anniversary like Mary F. Dinklehorn becoming the first trans-gay-librarian in Antarctica or something (not that I’m against any of that) I just want to get some work done and not be distracted by Google desperately clinging to power.

    But Drive is nice, I like that.

      I’m using Chrome and added an extension called Empty New Tab Page that makes Chrome open to a blank page. I had to do that because the Google home page got to be so annoying. Also removing the need to fetch content makes the browser and new tabs open faster.

        Yes, I have done this on one of my computers and it’s working great. I need to bring the rest up to speed.

        Actually, what I really need is to find a new browser for web dev. Chrome’s dark theme sucks ass.
