You can disable this suggested content using Chrome flags. To do that, enter you will need to disable the NTP popular sites and NTP snippets flags. Paste the following two links one by one in the address bar of Chrome on your Android phone and select ‘Disabled‘ in the highlighted (yellow) values. After making the changes, tap on the relaunch button.
