How Can You Block or Disable "People Also Search For" in Google Results

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.

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

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

Weird, I've been getting it for weeks now.

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

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...

New to me, no idea.

I use Ublock origin and it blocks it well.

Are you saying that you see this without it?
Because no one else has reported even seeing this.

I just checked on Windows 10 and see it with Chrome.

Yes, sorry for the ambiguity. Basically I have seen a lot of customers more recently searching like Amazon or Walmart and the first two results are ads or the link for the top searches show a correct link but you get the MS or Fake AV support pages.

I see it in Chrome. But it doesn't delay. It's usually only when I hit the back button.
-
Just got it on ChromeOS now on my Chromebook.
