Ask HN: Is there a way to stop the animated Google Doodles?

12 points by arnejenssen ↗ HN
The animated Google doodles that appear when I open an new browser tab in Chrome is distracting. The Doodle is soccer/World cup animation. I want it to not animate.

Yes, you can use ublock. There's a button on the extension to remove elements from a website. Or if you're on mobile you can use Brave browser which has the same function.

You can use DDG for search engine, or if not, You can use brave as it has support to block elements by right clicking and selecting element to block it.

I really want this too.

The fifa doodle is completely annoying bullshit. So is the icon change for Google on Android.

Makes me despise FIFA even more as well as the MBAs that forced it into the products.

We need to purge these people from tech companies so we can build human centric technology again instead of money centric technology.

Maybe that’s the nudge you needed to try a better search engine and browser?

Toggle the "prefer reduced motion" accessibility setting if on mac

You can ask AI to make your own chrome plugin.
