TL;DR

A bug in Chrome v148 is causing the bookmarks bar to appear by default on new tab pages.
The bar stays, regardless of whether you hit Ctrl+Shift+B, disable the feature in settings, or disable the flag.
The bar will only go away once you navigate to a website.

Google recently rolled out an update for the Chrome browser — version 148. Released on May 5, the new version introduces a few changes, such as lazy loading for video and audio. It also seems to introduce a minor, but very annoying bug that prevents you from hiding the bookmarks bar.
