When you print a webpage, everything gets printed including the big images, side bars, advertisements on the the webpage and other unwanted content.

The latest version of Google Chrome web browser opens a New Tab page instead of your homepage when you start the browser.

A close button is shown on each tab of the Mozilla Firefox web browser by default. But if keep accidentally clicking on them, then you can move their position or remove them entirely.
