This feature existed in the past (several years ago), but was removed in the last big NTP redesign because apparently it didn't get much usage. That said, there are some efforts to improve the customizability of Chrome, so we'll consider this feature request for the next NTP iteration.

This is basically a dupe of bug 577141, but that one is view-restricted :(

Comment 5 by treib@chromium.org, Jan 11 2018

 Issue 798871  has been merged into this issue.
Why is bug 577141 view restricted? Because Chromium is not open...? (I mean, it's not a security bug or anything.)

Yes, that's unfortunate. I've created a new umbrella issue and going to de-dupe everything against the new report.
