Back in May 2019, Google announced it would start rolling out a “new look” for Google Search. Google tends to roll these things out in waves, so I didn’t actually see a change in my Google searches until recently.
This is an awful design. Putting the icon and a sudo-URL above the title makes scanning through results on the desktop version of Google incredibly frustrating. Typically only ads would have that sort of design, and presumably this is Google’s attempt to make it more difficult for users to distinguish between ads and search results.
Anyway, the “Better Google” userscript once again makes Google search results readable. This requires installing Tampermonkey or your favorite browser’s equivalent first, and then adding the script. But it is definitely worth it.
