Replaces doodles with the default logo, for a less distracting search experience.

BROWSER COMPATIBILITY

It should work on most chromium-based browsers, like Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, etc. NOTE: In Opera, open the extension settings, scroll to the bottom, and select the "Allow access to search page results" checkbox.

DOESN'T WORK ON NEW TAB PAGE

This does not, nor did it ever, work on the New Tab page.. it only works when you visit google.com. If you'd like to redirect the New Tab page to google.com (where this extension will work), try one of these:

it did not remove the doodle on search for me

Exactly as advertised. For some reason my uBlock filter stops working after they roll out a new doodle but this seems to be a permanent fix. Thank you!
