Chrome Dev app is offering some control over recommended sites and articles which put a little bit of control into the hands of the users.

Control over the recommended site depends on the users what they are recommended. These recommended sites will pop up whenever users open up a new tab.

It is entirely possible to get suggestions from chrome that website you are interested in is not necessary. This is where the new options in Chrome Dev will come in handy.

While this does allow for some changes to be made and allows for modification of which recommended sites may pop up, it is worth noting that to get to these changes user will have to get to the internal page.

For users who are not sure where this is located, As per Android Police, it can be accessed simply by entering chrome://ntp-tiles-internals/ into the address bar of the Chrome Dev and tapping enter.

Once the page pops up, the URL under the "popular" bar can be manipulated, and users can also change the country if they are interested in altering the regional version of the pages.

After making these changes, a user has to tap the update button and after tapping the update button, changes will be automatically saved.

As stated in Android Headlines, other change to the Chrome Dev app includes a download manager which user can get from the overflow menu. This is a feature which Google added in the last update.

Although the app does not allow users to remove the popular sites completely, it is likely to be a welcomed change as it gives at least some control to the user.

It is a function that Google is looking to swap over to a stable version of Chrome. It will have to roll through the beta version of the Chrome application first but unfortunately, there is no telling how long it would take.
