Alternatively, just change your browser's default search shortcut, and add &udm=14 to the end of the normal google search. It changes the default search results to "web" rather than "All", which removes all the extraneous crap they've added over the years.

Compare https://www.google.com/search?q=test to https://www.google.com/search?q=test&udm=14

The wild thing is how much faster it is to load. I'd almost forgotten how fast Google's default search used to be. Thank you!

Or even better: stop using Google.

Use Kagi instead.
