Chrome integrates your past search queries to the New Tab Page on Android in recent days. The recent feature has been long-term due while testing now appearing alongside frequently visited sites on Android devices.
As the text of your query is shown underneath there’s a magnifying glass icon, instead of a site favicon. It’s life in the stable channel on all devices we checked today.
You can long-press on each one to “Remove” and that should bring back a frequently visited webpage. About 14 or so characters can appear, with longer terms truncated. Tapping launches a new Google Search results page.
Enables showing the most repeated queries, from the device browsing history, organically among the most visited sites in the MV tiles.
A more permanent solution is to disable the feature — “Organic repeatable queries in Most Visited tiles” entirely via chrome://flags/#organic-repeatable-queries.
Well in most opinions Chrome should really add a user-facing setting to customize the New Tab Page now that searches are widely rolling out. You can leave feedback for Google from the bottom of the overflow menu > Help & feedback > Send feedback. This will really be admirable sharing of feedback to help them do further resolution.
