should be in explaining suggestions on the new tab page to users.<br>

Here's a screenshot of how it could be displayed:<br>

Here's some examples from more transparent to more opaque:<br>

Because you visited <a href="http://github.com" target="_blank">github.com</a> yesterday<br>
For <a href="http://github.com" target="_blank">github.com</a> visitors<br>

Transparency is nice but can get creepy. Opaqueness is more general<br>
but can be wrong/confusing.<br>
<br>
We can probably run experiments to see which leads to better<br>
engagement, e.g., more users clicking vs blocking; but there's also a<br>
question of what would we like to offer.<br>
