How to Disable Chrome’s New Featured Articles Feature
A few months ago, Chrome started experimenting with adding suggested articles to your new tab. It was great when it wasn’t necessary. This is a must in the new Chrome 54. Here’s how to turn it off.
When you open a new tab in Chrome 54, if you scroll down, you’ll see recently used bookmarks followed by a list of suggested articles (the same one found in Google Now, which could be something like an echo chamber ). If you’re not a fan of her, open both of the following options in Chrome and turn them off:
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-popular-sites
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-snippets
You may need to restart your browser for it to work. However, once this is done, the proposed articles will disappear. Enjoy your clean new tab page!
