Clean up Google Search Results Page to display only organic links
The earlier version of Google Search was quite simplistic. It had no boxes like Q&A on Google or People also ask. In short, it was clutter-free and to-the-point however, over time, many new elements were added that made it look bloated and messy. The folks at Markup have developed an extension – Simple Search to changes this. It restores the online search function to its earliest version when it operated a little differently.
