This policy controls the visibility of cards on the New Tab Page. Cards surface entry points to launch common user journeys based on the user's browsing behavior. If the policy is set to Enabled, the New Tab Page will show cards if content is available. If the policy is set to Disabled, the New Tab Page won't show cards. If the policy is not set, the user can control the card visibility. The default is visible.

Software\Policies\Google\Chrome Value name: NTPCardsVisible
Enabled: NTPCardsVisible = 1
Disabled: NTPCardsVisible = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
