How to turn off Articles for your past search queries

If you are using Google Chrome on Android and are seeing your past search queries on the new tab page, it is because Chrome has a feature called "Articles for you" that displays personalized content based on your browsing history and search queries. This feature can be useful for discovering new content, but if you prefer to keep your search queries private or don't want to see personalized content, you can disable the feature.

To turn off the "Articles for you" feature and stop seeing past search queries on the new tab page in Chrome on Android, follow these steps:

1. Open the Chrome app on your Android device.
2. Tap on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Select "Settings" from the menu.
4. Scroll down and tap on "New Tab page" under the "Basics" section.
5. Toggle off the "Articles for you" option.

Query Tiles is a feature in Google Chrome for Android that suggests frequently visited websites and searches based on your browsing history. This feature is enabled by default in Chrome and appears on the New Tab page, but you can turn it off if you prefer.

To turn off Query Tiles in Chrome for Android, follow these steps:

1. Open the Chrome app on your Android device.

3. Select "Settings" from the menu.
4. Scroll down and tap on "New Tab page" under the "Basics" section.
