I never used Pocket itself, but I do like having the grid of news articles on the new tab page, which I believe is powered by Pocket in some shape or form. Anyone know if that feature is going away too?
It's just a fancy history, it has nothing to do with pocket.
Pocket absolutely would suggest you articles (and ads) by default unless you explicitly told it not to in your settings. This is separate from the tiles of frequently visited pages from your history.
The second slider down is your history/pinned shortcuts on the home screen. The third one is recommended junk, "Powered by Pocket."
More info on that here, for however long this will do anyone any good:
