    Can anyone please help me understand why the New Tab page on chrome on my phone keeps throwing up items from Breitbart, Sputnik and worse? I never visit these sites, and it's absurd for Google to actively promote them. cc. @TaylorLorenz @MichaelEHayden @d1gi @zeynep

        Is this an issue with @Pocket, maybe?

        The worst I'm getting are a few Fox News items. Otherwise they seem to assume I like sports and fashion (wrong on both counts). I wonder if you follow DT and such people just to know what they're up to, does it assume you are also into Breitbart and Sputnik?

        I was getting all sorts of similar junk in there before I just gave up on Google.

        My first guess is that it is due to a browser extension. Disable them all and see if it goes away.

        Only seeing this on the new tab page on my phone, but I suppose it's possible that one of the two innocuous extensions on my desktop browser may have somehow tagged my profile for AI-directed... soiling :/

        And as far as I’m aware, there is no way to disable it. The best you can do is shrink that section. Guess why I moved to Brave? https://brave.com pic.twitter.com/6Fs4Y4zGHD
