Chrome Discover

I think that is what it is called, can't I just get a normal Google page as a home screen vs all these stories I have zero interest in? Even if I try to change the interest I still get garbage.

Thoughts?

What if you just tap the Hide button next to "Articles for you"? https://support.google.com/chrome/a...41694976&rd=1&co=GENIE.Platform=Android&oco=1

Then it hides those and adds more lol.

That's odd -- it doesn't show more articles for me if I use the Hide option. Do you mean that whenever you open a new tab with the Google homepage, it reverts to showing you the feed again?

Yes and continues to feed new articles as I scroll.

After all you are only hiding that particular story.

It shouldn't just be hiding a particular story. See the below screenshots:

My homepage looks totally different.

Aha, that's slightly different. I was showing you the Google page that appears when I create a New Tab. You're showing the actual google.com site. When I go to that site, I have a hamburger menu icon at the upper left (which I don't see on your screenshot) -- if I tap it, and then tap Settings, there's an option under Discover to "Don't show on homepage." You can also get to that menu by going to google.com/preferences, so give that a try.

Aha yes that worked...though I'm not sure why I do not have that hamburger menu icon in the upper left. But going to google.com/preferences aloud me to turn off Discover.
