Steps to reproduce the problem:
When you first open Chrome, it displays my default search page "www.google.com". But on this page it displays thumbnails of recently visited webpages, i.e suggested sites (This also happens on open a new tab!). There is no option in Chrome to switch off these thumbnails. People should have the choice to customize these kind of options that can be annoying to the user. 

What is the expected behavior?
An option in settings to switch off suggested sites on the google search page through Chrome browser. An option saying "No suggested sites" but keep the search page as per the normal www.google.com site (not a blank screen!). Please add this feature to allow users to switch off suggested site on the search page please and on new tabs.

What went wrong?
Can't switch off suggested website on chrome during startup and new tabs!
