Hi Kevin,I looked into this, and tracked down the issue to an edit in search-engines.patch, i.e. https://salsa.debian.org/chromium-team/chromium/-/blob/master/debian/patches/debianization/search-engines.patch Specifically, this one: - "new_tab_url": "https://duckduckgo.com/chrome_newtab";, + "new_tab_url": "https://start.duckduckgo.com/";, We made this change because the original URL results in an obtrusive prompt as the very first thing you see in a new profile. I have experimentally reverted this edit in a build of 156.0.8078.73-1, and attached a screenshot of the prompt. If you click that prompt away, the "Customize" button on the page yields a "Most-visited sites" option. Could you try setting the above chrome_newtab URL as your home page, and see if that restores the missing option for you?
Are you able to set this without recompiling? Manually going to https://duckduckgo.com/chrome_newtab or setting it as the startup page results in a completely different looking page compared to your screenshot.
