How to Disable Chrome Suggested Articles on iPhone, iPad, and Android

Tired of the clutter from Chrome's suggested articles? Chrome on iOS and Android devices shows an "Articles For You" section whenever you open a new tab. Fortunately, it's easy to disable this feature and enjoy a cleaner browsing experience.

Turn Off 'Articles For You' in Chrome on Mobile

Here’s how to remove those suggested articles:

1. Open Chrome: Launch the Chrome app on your iOS or Android device.
2. Access the Menu: Tap the three dots (“…”) icon to open the Chrome options menu.

3. Go to Settings: Select "Settings" from the menu.

4. Disable Article Suggestions: Scroll down to find "Article Suggestions" and toggle it to the OFF position.

5. Exit Settings: Tap "Done" to return to your clutter-free Chrome.

Now, when you open a new tab, you won't be bombarded with suggested articles. Enjoy a cleaner, more focused browsing experience!

While there's a "Hide" option on the Articles For You section, it only temporarily removes the articles. Disabling the feature ensures they don't reappear every time you open a new tab.

Advanced Method: Disabling via Chrome Flags

For those who prefer a more direct approach, you can also disable the "Articles For You" feature through Chrome Flags:

1. Open Chrome Flags: Type chrome://flags in the Chrome address bar and press Enter.
2. Search for 'remote-suggestions': Use the search bar to find the "remote-suggestions" flag.
3. Disable the Flag: Change the setting from "Default" to "Disabled".

This method offers another way to permanently remove the suggested articles from your Chrome browsing experience.
