How do you permanantly turn TRENDING off on chrome on Android ?
It keeps on coming back on Android 12

If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    Yes - but when this is done - and the phone is rebooted - "trending searches" reappears
    ie) Its not permanent
