FYI, there's a code you can add to the URL of Google searches to remove the extras. This site does it for you: udm14.com

I stopped using Google for web search ages ago. Use DuckDuckGo instead.

Standard Google queries formerly used about 1 kJ of energy each, while ChatGPT4 queries can use anywhere from 3-36 kJ each. That's a lot of energy for wrong answers.
