Fantastic cleanup of Google’s cluttered search page

I had to make sure my homepage was set to blank and new windows and tabs open with start page in safari general settings before I got it to work. I can’t seem to ‘block spammy sites’ like it says in the description of the app. Otherwise it works as described would highly recommend!

Much simpler

Makes Google much nicer to use. It’s a simple list with less garbage.

Sometimes the Google info isn’t totally useless but it’s rare. The website filtering is a little basic and will filter out all sites that end in those characters— so if you’re blocking a one letter domain, it’ll block anything ending in that letter. Those are basically the only downsides, and they’re nothing compared to dealing with Google’s bloat.

Fantastic search enhancement

A cleverly implemented extension that returns web search to its glory days – a simple, clear, and ad-free experience. The combination of Google results with DuckDuckGo !bangs is the ideal search experience. I use and appreciate it every day.

Yahoo = Google

So macht googlen endlich wieder spaß. Zu meinem Vorredner: Yahoo hat die Nutzung von Google lizensiert und betreibt keine eigene Suchmaschine mehr. Daher muss man aus technischen Gründen auf die Suchmaschine auf Yahoo umstellen, allerdings nutzt man trotzdem Google.

Bug report – Not working

It stopped working on my iPad, the University profile takes me to normal Yahoo.
I’ve checked everything and it should work but it doesn’t seem to work.
