See useful links when you open a new tab
When you open a new tab, Google Chrome preloads it with the following items:
- Most visited sites
Image squares (also known as thumbnails) of the websites you visit the most are displayed at the top. Click a thumbnail to visit the site. You can also choose to hide these thumbnails from view. - Recently closed windows and tabs
The tabs and windows you've last closed are listed in the 'Recently closed' section. Click a link to restore the closed tab or window.
To open the New Tab page, click the + icon next to the last tab at the top of your browser window. You can also use the Windows keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T to quickly open the page.
Remove specific thumbnails from the page
To remove thumbnails displayed for specific sites, hover over a thumbnail with your mouse. When the blue frame appears around the thumbnail, click the x that appears in the top right corner of the frame. Thumbnails that you remove will never show up on the New Tab page again, unless you restore your removed thumbnails.
You can also click 
to hide all thumbnails from view or clear your browsing history to reset the area to blank thumbnails.
