How to Make Google Search Minimal Again
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
For a minimal Google, Search Cleaner hides the sections you don't want on google.com search pages. The AI Overview is hidden from the start; add switches like "People Also Ask", "Videos & Reels", "Things to know", "Knowledge Panel (Right)" and the shopping sections, and what's left is the search box and a list of results. It doesn't change Google's colours or fonts.
