When we open Safari in iOS 9, or simply when we open a new tab, it is true that we are usually shown at the bottom a list of frequently visited websites so that we can access them quickly. This can be useful, it is true, but there are those who for various reasons prefer not to make public the websites they visit frequently, since they can be seen by anyone who uses Safari on their device. In previous versions, we had a Jailbreak tweak that allowed us to hide these recently visited websites, however, iOS 9 has this option in the Safari settings, disabling frequent sites is very easy.
That's right, in iOS 9 and Safari we now have the possibility of eliminating these frequently visited sites quickly and easily from the Safari settings, and these are the specific steps to quickly get rid of this function that for many is annoying and unpleasant.
Disable "frequent sites" in Safari for iOS 9
- We open the iOS Settings application.
- We navigate through the menu until we get to Safari, we enter.
- Among the general settings we find «Frequently visited sites«.
- We deactivate the switch if we want to stop seeing these frequent sites.
There are no more adjustments or complications, in fact it couldn't be easier. Now when we open a new Safari tab we can find our Favorites or Bookmarks, but not frequently visited sites.

We also have the possibility of eliminating only one of them, for example we want to keep the others and maintain the function, however, we find one of them that for some reason we do not want it to be there, the solution is simple, we leave our finger on it place that we want to make disappear, and A contextual button will appear that will allow us to eliminate it quickly and easily.
It doesn't work, they keep showing up, even in new tabs
