NTP is not NTP, for example. FWIW: // A PromoResourceService fetches data from a web resource server to // be used to dynamically change the appearance of the New Tab Page. // For example, it has been used to fetch "tips" to be displayed on // the NTP, or to display promotional messages to certain groups of // Chrome users. Whatever it is that it downloads, deactivate the one that leads to Google.
