      I use uBlock Origin on all the browsers and I've never seen what you're describing.

        Ah, does that block Google's search page itself from doing stupid things? That alone would make it worth it.

          The broad adblocking makes it worth it. I think I may have manually added block rules for the box you're talking about, but out of the box it blocks ad results and other bs.

            Running uBlock plus AdBlocker here... Seems to work decently. though not sure I have seen wht you describe.

              @scottalanmiller Can you post a screen shot? I dont know what youre describing. If using snip ruins the effect, can use PrintScreen?

                  It's that new thing that seems like malware, but apparently is intentional, for Google. It's an animated pop up that comes up AFTER your search is done and you are ready to click and link and changes what is under your mouse. It makes the search hard to use and often causes me to go to some link that obviously I have no interest in. I can't think of any circumstance where this should exist, but it causes every search to be slower and the site to just be annoying.

                  I've searched but failed to find a way to disable this. Seems purely designed to waste resources and annoy users.

                  Google is not your friend. Duckduckgo is what google search once was - lean and no-nonsense. I prefer duckduckgo's search result over google as well.

                      I've seen this stuff before, but never that. It looks attached to the search result based on the page element design in your screenshot.

                      All of these are also obviously separate elements.

                        @jaredbusch those are "related" searches, I get those too. This one is slightly differently and the worst part is how delayed it is.

                            @scottalanmiller - I tried a search in chrome and firefox and don't get anything that pops out when hovering over a result link.

                                  Any and any from what I can tell. I saw it just now on Fedora 28 and Firefox.

                                    I stopped using Google quite a while back. I like the interface on DDG a bit better. Along with uBlock, works well.

                                      This topic just glowed bright blue on the main page for about 5 seconds. What is that?

                                        I noticed it a little bit ago, maybe after the last update? It seems to only appear when you use the browser back button (mouse click, back function, whatever). I'm assuming it's to highlight where you left off? Not really sure...

                                            I use Ublock origin and it blocks it well.
