You can't change that on an iPhone. You can only set your homepage when you use Chrome on a computer (mac or windows) or an Android device.
not trying to set a homepage. Trying to stop most visited sites/history from showing on that page. I can stop it on my Mac using Chrome.
Correct. It's default if you don't choose a home page on your Chrome Browser on your desktop but you can't set a home page with Chrome on the iPhone. Chrome allows you to not show history or visited sights on the desktop version but I'm trying to find out how to stop it on the Mobile version. In the link provided that is the Desktop version you're looking at and you can STOP those from showing up but I can't figure out how to make them NOT show up on the Mobile version of Chrome.

I use Chrome on my desktop and laptop but switched to Safari on my phone and tablets - the Chrome mobile implementation is lacking. Yours is one example, another is the inability to show a bookmarks bar.
Yeah, just my personal preference. Safari works for me on mobile, Chrome doesn't.
Really? I haven't run into that - it remembers all of mine on all sites (2 iPads & XS Max).
Edit: Do you have iCloud Keychain enabled?

Well, homepage is what I initially thought the workaround. Sad to say that there is no customize button for Chrome for mobile. What you can do is just manually remove them each time it appears.
