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. πŸ‘ΏπŸ˜ 

 

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. πŸ™‡‍♂️ πŸ·πŸŽ…

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

 

 

 

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