Speaking of it, you can rule out any column you don't wanna see by appending a couple of rules into uBblock like these swurl.com###twitter swurl.com###instagram swurl.com###youtube swurl.com###news swurl.com###images

#113I will use it for sure with some additional and essentials features for me at least:
- Ability to add and remove some columns: I have no interest in using Instagram or Twitter in my search results and I have interest in using Stackoverflow or HN for example.
- Ability to customize the width of each column for desktop: I have read in your about us page that you clearly state that “Mobile is primary”, however I would be interested in using it on my desktop on a daily basis and it would be nice to have the google column wider than the others for example.
- Possibility to customize the order of the columns: I think this is an obvious one.
Do you have any of these changes in mind for the future?
Congrats!

#114Well, It works and it's a cool idea but I just don't appreciate an Instagram feed in my search results. That thing tracks you like rescue dogs.

#119Very smooth! I'd appreciate being able to create custom search profiles (like Brave Goggles). If I'm searching for a famous person, I might want Wikipedia, Goodreads, Twitter, Instagram, [music streaming service(s)], Twitch, and YouTube results. If I'm searching for medicine, I might want Wikipedia, PubChem, MedLinePlus, and Examine.com results. If I'm searching for a question, I might want StackExchange, Reddit, Quo…
I immediately thought in profiles as a nice extra feature when I saw this. And I even thought that it can be done automatically based on your search query without the need for profiles, I think it would be difficult to implement though.
Maybe is the future of searching, who knows!
