Trying this with a new blank profile:

1. Set up profile.
2. Open tab. Popup appears. Press 'No, thanks'.
3. Open tab. Popup appears, this time in German. Press 'Nein, danke'.
4. Open tab. No popup.
5. Opening further tabs produces no popup.

Trying something slightly different with a *different* blank profile:

1. Set up profile.
2. Open tab. Popup appears. This time I'm not pressing any buttons.
3. Open tab. Popup appears, in German.
4. Open tab. Popup appears, in German.
5. Open tab. No popup appears.
6. Opening further tabs produces no popup.

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.92 Safari/537.36

I'm also able to reproduce this, but for me it appears every time after reloading the browser. It might help - I have "Keep local data only until you quit your browser" option enabled.

I have two browser profiles. On both the image in the dialog was broken. However, I clicked "SHOW ME WHAT'S NEW" using the first profile, and it never showed again (which is good). Then I opened my other profile, which now has the problem as described. It might be that problem pops up when using multiple profiles.

- Disabled all extensions: No luck
- Created a new profile in Chrome: The popup disappeared as expected.
- Wiped out my Chrome config directory (rm -r ~/.config/google-chrome): Now my default profile also works as expected.

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding the requester to the cc list.

Btw. I have a 2nd system user on the same machine where I did not yet wipe ~/.config/google-chrome and there I'm still seeing exactly the same bug.

I'm using Kubuntu 18.04 in case this is of any relevance.

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Hey all,

Confirming we're seeing reports of this as well. Note that reports mention this appearing on both Search and the NTP.

I have been able to repro this on 69.0.3497.92, on the local NTP.

Also note: once dismissed from google.com, the promo isn't shown again for that profile, even on the local NTP.

I am having this issue on Windows 10 with an installation with multiple profiles. Let me know if there are any steps I can take to give you more information. For example, "dismiss dialog on NTP, check xx setting in local config file", or however it is persisted not to show the dialog again.

It's completely consistent for me on both my corp and personal profiles on GLinux at work and Debian at home. I can't make it go away at all. Screencast attached. The behaviours different but still incorrect with a new, empty profile (see comment 4 above).

Where do I find the setting in the local config file?

Regarding comment #15, I find that dismissing the dialog from google.com does not stop the dialog from appearing again on any page, after browser restart.

Regarding comment #5, I also have "keep local data only until you quit your browser" set on the affected profile.

I'm sorry this is continuing to occur. Thank you for the info about the "keep local data only until you quit your browser" setting - I see that if it's set, the promo pops up again on browser restart.

mevissen@ & dtrg@: would you mind setting chrome://flags/#use-google-local-ntp to disabled to see if it goes away? This always seems to work in my repro testing.

To be clear, I only saw the promo repeat after a browser restart. If state is being saved in a cookie, that would explain it.

Regarding instructions in comment#19:
Leaving the flag #use-google-local-ntp as default or disabling it: Dismissing the promo in NTP also prevents it from showing in subsequent visit to google.com. With the flag enabled, then yes the promo appears on the first visit to google.com as well, even after dismissing it from NTP.

In any case, the promo comes back after browser restart.

After setting #use-google-local-ntp to disabled and relaunching, I see no change in my personal account: the promo appears on every new tab, even if I dismiss it by pressing 'no thanks'. However, it's stopped appearing in my corp account.

Resetting it back to default has no further change in behaviour.

Running Chrome browser version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10 version 1703 (OS Build 15063.1266).
No extensions (they all are disabled at my work).
This popup keeps appearing on every new tab. I have tried both options: "No Thanks" and "Show me what's new", but the very irritating popup keep coming back no matter what. It is happening at my work where the Group policy is applied and I cannot change any settings AND at home, where I run Chrome with the New Tab Redirect extension.

Thanks for the additional info everyone. There are a few issues identified here that I'm working to resolve with the Promos team:
1. Dismissability. Seems to be due to CSP on the local NTP.
2. Stickiness of dismissal after restart. It does appear to be cookie-based, so "keep local data only until you quit your browser" will not preserve the request.
3. Broken image on the promo. Seems to be due to relative path that doesn't have enough info on the local NTP.

@c21: On your personal profile, do you see the broken image on the pop-up?

@c22: It looks like the New Tab Redirect extension prevents the default new tab from being shown, but the attached screenshot looks like the popup shown on the local NTP. Please review the setting for chrome://flags/#use-google-local-ntp & let me know what you see.

@ramyan:
The setting for chrome://flags/#use-google-local-ntp at work and at home is set to Default. The Chrome version is the same at both location.
Here is what I noticed:
At home I use the Private Internet Access (PIA) while at work I connect through the corporate network. At work I don't use any extension, and the popup is still coming on every tab. At home, if I connect through the PIA - no popup. As soon as disconnect from the PIA servers, I got the popup.

Re @c23: Yes, I see the broken image icon (the box-inside-a-box icon). Although, I didn't actually realise this was a broken image until I read about it here!

chrome://flags/#use-google-local-ntp      set all to default

there is error information at console:
