I have just noticed that when I call upon Google search in macOS Firefox 121.0.0 it is now force feeding me adverts below the search entry bar area. This is before I even have my search term results. 👿😠

You can click on the small vertical 3 dot menu next to EACH advert and so no but I want to turn them all off and never see any of them again - how do I do this ??

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Click the "Settings" link in the bottom-right cornect, then "Search settings". Go to the "Other settings" tab, then disable "Show Discover on home page".

@Aaron2222

I went some way into that "Settings" area but not that far. Typical, bury deep.

I bow to you and wish you a fabulous Christmas. 🙇‍♂️ 🍷🎅

No! Never run more than uBlock Origin. Source: uBlock Origin author.

But yes, it's hostile out there. uBlock origin is your protective shield.
