Google Chrome lists your most frequently visited websites as thumbnails on the new tab page. You can use these thumbnails to quickly visit these websites. However, if you do not want these thumbnails, you can disable or hide them.
There are two different ways to hide the most visited websites’ thumbnails. The first option is to replace them with a set of shortcuts of your choice. The second option is to hide these shortcuts completely.
