How do I stop short cuts appearing on new tabs

How do I stop short cuts being created on new tabs. All indications refer to pen icon bottom right but there is no pen icon. I can clear them using privacy cleaner but they still come back. I want to stop them permanetly. Do you have any advice.

Hi @George_Spiteri , can you please share a screenshot showing the shortcuts you are referring to?


Please note banking icon and no pen at bottom right hand corner just a gear cog. Thanks
