This happens to me daily with Google! It's so incredibly annoying. I waste so much time because >70% of the time something moves and I click the wrong link.
Can we do something to disable that feature? I'll try disabling JavaScript, or maybe there's a browser extension that does that.
EDIT: Disabling JavaScript stops it but the search is also much slower for me, and there's an additional redirect. The layout is also quite different than what I am used to. Someone posted a uBlock filter here:

- soulofmischief 6y agoMaybe we should just give up Google search. I'm thinking about it. The anxiety is real. The only problem is everything else completely sucks for technically-oriented searches.
- rthomas6 6y agoI have good luck with DuckDuckGo for technical searches. It's local searches and searches about relatively current events it seems to have trouble with.
- xigoi 6y agoTry Startpage, it internally uses Google. http://startpage.com/ http://startpage.com/
- soulofmischief 6y agoI wish Startpage worked without JS and I also find the background + text color combo to hurt readability. Otherwise, it's a great alternative and thanks for the shout out!
