I want to disable it because let's be honest I search some dirty sites and I don't want anyone seeing this and having to remove these suggestions is getting really annoying. I'm afraid one day I'll forget to remove them and be caught for the perv I am and please, if any mods are answering don't answer with a copy paste solution that never makes any sense.

You will always see recently visited pages in the slots on the about:newtab page.

You can drag an URL on all nine slots on the about:newtab page to prevent other pages from showing there.
