There are two ways to design the new tab page which shows the large quick-dial buttons. One way is to let the user specify the URL of each button. The browser usually includes a preset list of popular web sites as the starting point. SlimBrowser and a few other browser adopts this method currently. Other browsers such as Internet Explorer and Chrome simply show an auto-populated list of most frequently used websites based on the user's browsing history.
Can you guys comment which way you prefer personally? Thanks a lot for your input!

No auto-population; just predefined, configurable (this includes "none")

Very good choice...I also have about:blank set as my "home" start-up URL...when I first open SJ I don't want it to load any specific web site...I like to choose which web site to load every time I start SJ and it's not always the same site..

All of my browsers are set to open this way. Vivaldi, Opera, Slimjet, and Chrome.

I use both. When I have a fresh slate I'll start by allowing it to pre-populate. Then after a while I switch over to user defined and shift it around a bit to suit my needs and add anything it missed.
About:Blank is okay... but not exactly what the OP was asking about. I used to use About:Blank exclusively, but the quick dial page shows my selected theme background while About:Blank will not do so. And I don't see the point in using a theme if I cannot occasionally see the background that comes with it.
