"Articles for you" suggestion on Chrome Desktop (Chrome Content Suggestions)

Viewed 3019

Chrome mobile shows "Articles for you" formally known as "Chrome Content Suggestions" on the new tab page chrome://newtab (screenshot below).

I would really like to have these suggestions also on my desktop New Tab Page (NTP), I know they are loathed, but I actually find them very useful (look at those suggestions in the screenshot!).

My hope was that using the Developer Tools > Useragent spoofer to set the useragent to Pixel 2XL would be sufficient, but it does not appear to be the case (I have tested this on Linux and on Windows desktops).

The "snippets" appear to be downloaded (on mobile) using fetch.py, tried running this but it gives the following error.

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '../../../google_apis/internal/google_chrome_api_keys.h'

Which indeed does not exist (the internal directory doesn't in fact).

Is there any way to fix this?

Go to https://news.google.com and select "For you" from left side panel. You need to already login to Chrome with Google ID.
