How do I stop recent search history from displaying

I have an Lenovo M10 Android tablet.
I know how to delete my search history in general and have turned off various fields in the site settings........
but recently search history tabs have started appearing beneath the search bar on Google's home page - (see attached pic).
I'm constantly removing them in order to get a blank page.
How do I prevent this search history from appearing ?
The recent search display still appears even when I've cleared my history.
I've already turned off all my activity fields
I'm using 'Chrome' as my browser - all history settings turned off.
'Google' is my homepage.
If I search for something, let's say 'depop'.......then every time I open a new tab on my tablet, a 'depop' link appears under the search bar, (see attached pic again).
Previously this did not happen.
Basically, I don't want to see any recent searches appear when I open a new tab.
Thanks.

I use Duckduckgo, it clears all that extra clutter and it does save your bookmarks. :)
