Press and long hold your finger on the square link of the websites that you don't want showing on that page when you open a new tab. It'll replace the suggested website with another random one from your search history. Dumb that you can't remove that feature altogether, at least from what I can tell, BUUUT at least it's not pxrnhub glaring at you and everyone around you every time you want to google something. Lol.
