Subject: [PATCH] promo: disable Google promotion fetching

Documentation is scarce, and sprinkled with misleading acronyms.
NTP is not NTP, for example. FWIW:

// A PromoResourceService fetches data from a web resource server to
// be used to dynamically change the appearance of the New Tab Page.
// For example, it has been used to fetch "tips" to be displayed on
// the NTP, or to display promotional messages to certain groups of
// Chrome users.

Whatever it is that it downloads, deactivate the one that leads to
Google.
