How to delete the most visited sites on Google Chrome for PC
Delete the most visited sites on Google Chrome for PC it is not difficult at all; what I have to tell you right away, however, is that the browser does not integrate a feature to completely disable this feature, however you can proceed with the deletion of each of the sites shown in the list (which, however, will be created again as you use the browser) .
To do this, start Chrome and open one new card (pressing the button [+] located next to the active one), then position the mouse near the thumbnail that identifies the site you want to delete, then click the button (⋮) which appears at the top of the latter. To conclude and delete the site from the list, press the button Remove placed in the menu that is proposed to you: in this way, you will have removed the shortcut present in the list of the most visited sites, but not the entry from the history or the bookmark possibly associated with the site.
Clearly, if you want to get rid of all the sites in the "new tab" screen, you have to repeat the procedure on all the previews; alternatively, you can clear all sites in one go by completely deleting your browser history.
To do so, press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+Canc (your Windows) or cmd+shift+backspace (on Mac), so as to display the window relating to the data deletion options on the screen; then, set the drop-down menu Time lapse su Tutto, put the check mark next to the item Navigazione timeline e finally, click on the button Clear data: in this way, in addition to the history, also the shortcuts shown in the “new tab” screen will be deleted.
Note: keep in mind that, if the browser has been previously associated with a Google account, the history will also be deleted from all other synchronized devices.
Alternatively, you can get rid of the Chrome history by pressing the button (⋮) located at the top right, by going to the menu History> History e clicking on the item Clear browsing data. For more information about the steps required for deleting the browser history, I suggest you take a look at my specific guide on the subject, in which I have covered this topic in great detail.
As I mentioned earlier, Chrome does not provide a feature to completely disable the display of the most visited sites within the screen dedicated to the new tabs. However, it is possible to make up for this lack by installing a special extension that can modify the aforementioned screen, such as Empty New Tab Page: once this add-on is installed, the "new tab" panel will be devoid of content and will show nothing else than a white screen.
To use it, click on the link I gave you just now (using Chrome), press the buttons Add e Add extension e, once the installation is finished, click on the item Keep the changes attached to the warning window that is proposed to you, to make the add-on operational. From now on, every time you open a new tab, a completely white panel will be displayed, without the list of the most visited sites.
If, on the other he, you prefer to replace the list of the most visited sites with a different content, such as a clock, a background that is always different or whatever, you can customize the screen in the way you prefer, using the extensions listed on the page dedicated to the customization of the "new tab" screen.
From here, you can choose the theme that best suits your needs, incorporating weather information, search bars, new wallpapers each time you open and new features, which will replace the shortcuts of the most visited sites on the Google Chrome browser.
