The animated Google doodles that appear when I open an new browser tab in Chrome is distracting. The Doodle is soccer/World cup animation. I want it to not animate.

#2Yes, you can use ublock. There's a button on the extension to remove elements from a website. Or if you're on mobile you can use Brave browser which has the same function.

Thanks. I have uBlock. But it looks like with the latest Chrome it does not block

On 149.0.7827.156, Zapper mode still works for me. However...
If you just open a new tab and use google that way, it seems zapper mode doesn't work there. If you navigate to google.com it does work there.
I think Chrome might lock down what's really a chrome page and not let extensions mess around.

#6You can use DDG for search engine, or if not, You can use brave as it has support to block elements by right clicking and selecting element to block it.

Thanks. Good idea. This is the easiest change to do while the World Cup lasts.

Good idea with the Zapper. It works for pages with an URL, but when opening a new tab there is no webpage to "zap", just the Google Doodle.
My solution now: Switch to other search engine (Brave/DuckDuckGo)

#9I really want this too.
The fifa doodle is completely annoying bullshit. So is the icon change for Google on Android.
Makes me despise FIFA even more as well as the MBAs that forced it into the products.
We need to purge these people from tech companies so we can build human centric technology again instead of money centric technology.

Switch to Firefox. And/or Kagi. Google is unlikely to be your friend.
