Hide Google Doodles for a less distracting search experience.

Description from store
Replaces doodles with the default logo, for a less distracting search experience.
BROWSER COMPATIBILITY
It should work on most chromium-based browsers, like Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, etc. NOTE: In Opera, open the extension settings, scroll to the bottom, and select the "Allow access to search page results" checkbox.
DOESN'T WORK ON NEW TAB PAGE
This does not, nor did it ever, work on the New Tab page.. it only works when you visit google.com. If you'd like to redirect the New Tab page to google.com (where this extension will work), try one of these:
New Tab Redirect: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-redirect/icpgjfneehieebagbmdbhnlpiopdcmna
New Tab Changer: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-changer/occbjkhimchkolibngmcefpjlbknggfh
PERMISSIONS
It'll request to read and change data on www.google.com and all their other nearly 200 domains (google.ca, google.es, etc), because it's injecting CSS styles into the search and search results pages.
It'll also request access to google.com/finance, since Google Finance also shows doodles (or at least, did), and this extension replaces those with the default logo too.

- Hide doodle is broken because is an ancient extension, like a dinosaurs roam on internet.🦖🦕 So this "hide doodle" extensions goes into the dumpster fire! 🗑️🔥

- 1) does not work on anything other than the homepage 2) death to google doodles
- Slander “Royalty” OMS
- No sirve esta porquería, una lastima que google no deje desactivar la propaganda de manera sencilla... muy molestos los doodles
- sosaysthecaptain
- works on homepage only, not results page or new tab page. The communist propaganda shines through.

- At last no more daily doodles decided by some woke committee at Google telling me what I should be worrying about each day!!! This worked perfectly for me but (as it says) only deals with doodles on Google search website eg www.google.co.uk. Then I went and got the redirect new tab extension (as described in the details of this) and that worked perfectly for new tabs. Thank you! I'll send you some oranges for Xmas. NB I only use Chrome so I can't comment on other browsers.

- Bonnie Camilla
- It didn't work on my Chromebook. I don't want to change from Google, but I can't stand looking at the Doodles any longer. I first gave a low rating but in a few days it started working! I can't believe it! I didn't realize how irritating some of the Google Doodles were until I know longer have to see them. It is so refreshing to see white space.

- Работает. Спасибо!

- Rudo “The One and Only” Sphi
- It works. Tested it on edge and chrome for the google doodles on the webpage and it replaced them with the google logo. It also removes the doodles when you are in the search results which is great too. Just in time for February. Thanks for this 😃👍
- Justin Breen
- I saw it had 3 stars before... and I hate when things don't work. Well I installed it, immediately checked google.com and I see a beautiful logo NOT the annoying doodle. So it worked. 5 stars.

- Doodle is not hiding And an option for a dark theme please
- HARKIRPA SINGH SARAO
- unfortunately it doesn't remove the doodle from the new tab page. most doodles are extremely ugly, and it would be nice if there was a functionality.
- Stew Kaplan
- The extension worked great at first, replacing the irritating doodles on google.com with the plain vanilla logo; but after a while it stopped working and the doodles re-appeared. Every once in a while it starts working again, for no apparent reason, and quickly breaks. It'd be an awesome extension if it really worked.
- Micky Kusanagi
- Doesn't work anymore cause of course those devils feel the need to destroy any effort made against their dictatorship from time to time. 1 star cause I'm a little bitter that the author disappeared so suddenly, especially at a time when google is so hell bent on forcing THAT kind of logos, but if he ever shows up again to fix his extension, I'm more than willing to change my rating to 5 stars at once, cause it used to work like a charm and he used to be lightning fast fixing reported issues. Meanwhile, use startpage.com as your search engine if you need to get google's results without their twisted propaganda.
- David Martins
- Works perfect for me
- Brad Wicks (Ulti P. Uzzer)
- I used this for several yrs & it worked great until Sept1, 2021 when Google felt the need to break all previous known methods of suppressing their doodles. Why do we have to keep playing whack-a-mole and finding new ways to eliminate the BS doodles that Google feels the compulsive need to keep forcing on their users. This gives you a clear picture of who Google is.

- stopped working as of september 2021, pls fix
- •Dark Academic•
- It used to work perfectly for me. The doodles would at least disappear for some time, until a new ''event'' worldly event would come on, meaning a new doodle, which would be seen. Now it does not work at all. Please fix this
- Arnold Black
- It used to work but no longer. It appears not to be maintained anymore.

- It doesn't work, so I can't rate it.
- Moose Knukle
- Thank you! Google Doodles are garbage.
- Iurii Galadzhun
- On some days it stops working. Like today is Earth day, and the doodle is NOT blocked. Please fix this!
- Carly Milsom
- No longer works because Google wishes to slow productivity with the unnecessary and questionable educational distraction.
- V Lord
- Worked once, then did not work. Really Google, really???
- mads
- from the reviews it seems to work but It wont for me. even when I click on it the google doodle is still there. Am i doing anything wrong?
- W. P.
- It removes the doodle as expected, but clicking the google logo still links to the doodle's page. Based on past reviews, this used to work properly. Google ruins everything in the name of profit!
- Fellyp Santos
- Cumpre o que promete. Works great!
- Cube Hire
- Only works on one out of five tabs I open. First it opens and great no doodles. Then the next four tabs show the doddles. Why dose chrome force this on people? Google originally was great because it was not distracting now you can't use google with out being distracted by google doodles.
- Kazuhiro Maeda
- Fantastic. Goodbye, annoying doodles.
- Navid
- A must have extension to get rid of Google dictatorship!
- Phoenix

- Doesn't work on Opera. Hope there will be Opera version soon. It DO work on Edge and Vivaldi, and it's amazing.
- Adam Clarke
- Thanks, it works well. However, since the new tab page Doodle can't be removed, I think other users should download another productivity extension called 'Empty New Tab Page' by Thakis.
- Joshua Crook
- Doesn't really work anymore
- Whitney Campbell
- Does not work for new tabs. If anyone has a work around please tell me.
