Hide Google’s “People Also Searched For” Box

Updated 04/16/2021

Stop me if you’ve been here: You Google something. You click the first result. You click “Back” in your browser. You go to click the next result, only—

Google takes half a second to expand this little box and you click on one of those links instead.

Let’s hide that thing.

Custom Browser Styles

You need a browser extension that allows you to add custom styles to web pages.

Firefox – I like Stylus.
Chrome – Stylish is popular.

Use another browser? You should get the idea. Custom CSS for your browser.

Open up Google and bring up your new-fangled style editor. Edit styles specific to google.com and add the following CSS:

.g [jscontroller] { 
    display: none;
}

.exp-outline + div {
    height:auto !important;
}Code language: CSS (css)

And, at the time of writing, that should take care of it. You can now feel safe using the “Back” button with Google again.
