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?

When you open a new tab, you may find shortcuts to sites you've visited lately as suggested by Discover articles. If you're signed in and synced to Chrome, suggested articles are based on your recent Web & App activity.
Open the menu at the top right of any tab and hit settings. There should be a “Suggested articles” toggle — disable that and you're done. While you're at it, you might just head into Privacy and disable search and site suggestions and usage data. On Android?
This category refers to visits initiated by clicking on one of the articles suggested by Chrome upon opening the app on an Android device. They are Discover suggestions, previously known as Google Feed.
I love this feature on my ipad. If you make this https://news.google.com/foryou your homepage on Desktop Chrome I believe you get the same results.
