I have tried to Google this question and it seems hard to find an answer so I am hoping someone here can help. Chrome for Android puts the six sites you visit most on the front page when you open the app. I accidentally removed a couple from here and as best as I can tell there is no way to put them back. Once removed it no longer be put back. Does anyone know how to put back ones you removed or setting to just reset it all which wouldn’t be ideal but better than nothing. Thanks.

Will they not reappear if you keep visiting them ?  
Eventually…  
Just a WAG !

When did you last upgrade your Chrome? If the six blocks/icons aren’t populated, an add shortcut icon is present. To edit/remove an icon/shortcut, hover over it and the three vertical dots for setup will appear with those options.

Note that I’m on a chromebook.I’ll check my phone later (damn thing didn’t charge itself last night because _someone_ didn’t plug it in).

Go to the 3 dot menu. If you clear your browsing data, the 6 options populate with stuff like Amazon. As soon as you visit other sites, they should repopulate.
