Why would someone use metamask? I read over the web site and I still don't know what it gets me over not having it. Edit: Here are my guesses: It's a crypto wallet? It's an alt-dns? It's a keystore?

  Is it useful to me if I don't have any crypto to put in it? Because I'm interested in the IPFS access etc, but I don't hold any crypto.

    Yes in that you can access web3 sites “authenticated” by your wallet, but you couldn’t transact on them.
