How to turn off Yandex Zen in Google Chrome

2. Left-click on the three vertical points icon in the area marked in the screenshot and use the Zen item.

Please note that the settings in the second and third version are directly dependent on data in the browser's cookie. Therefore, if you decide to ever clear the garbage program, afterwards all the settings will have to be reinstalled.
