It's such a shame that tech companies want to determine that you need something instead of giving you the option. Thank you for this extension!

Does the job it says and works great. It's really just a shame this was needed instead of Google listening to its users.

This extension stopped working for me. It's installed and on, but it's no longer doing its job. Google is the king of annoyance thought to be convenience, without the ability to disable their B.S. May be time to switch search engines.

I came to this extension late, but I was glad to have found it. That said, it stopped doing what it says on the tin about a month ago, and I'm having to deal with these infuriating highlights constantly again, and it's like this extension isn't even installed on my browser. Very frustrating. I'm hoping whoever developed this extension can figure out a work-around, because quite frankly it's a stroke of genius (when it works)!

Worked consistently as described until the past month or so and then the highlights came back everywhere in Gmail. Tried removing and adding the extension to Chrome again, changing extension permissions/settings, etc... Extension still doesn't seem to be working at all for me now.

This extension fixes the top-level search result links, but not the "People Also Ask" links. I wrote this little Javascript which removes the text highlighting from ALL links, even if they appear after the initial page load. Just add the script to Tampermonkey or Styler for Google.com. /* Remove text highlighting from Google search result links */ var it=0; function f(){ if(it==0||document.hasFocus()){ it++; for(var a of document.querySelectorAll('a[href]')){ var i=a.href.indexOf('#:~...
