Removing websites from Most Visited Pages in Chrome

Chrome is very good and rich in features as far as im concerned except it dosent have plugins. I browse so many websites and one problem i came across is that the ones i visit quite often, Chrome shows thumbnail of it in the most visited page or when you open chrome. I really dont want some websites to appear in those list.

Chrome does not let you delete or remove one website from the most visited page instead you should clear the entire browsing history to remove the websites from most visited page.

Clearing the Browsing Data in Chrome

• Click the drop down next to Tool button on the right side of the chrome
• Select Clear Browsing data
   
• A new pop up window will come. Tick the Clear browsing history options and click on the clear browsing history button
