It serves as the entry point to the website and is typically designed to provide users with an introduction to the site&#8217;s content, navigation options, and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here for the Turn Off the Lights browse extension you will be greeted with a hello video, and then a few video tutorials on how to enable a certain feature in your just-installed browser extension.
