At the very top of the Google search page, you see a search bar. You type something into it and use your middle mouse wheel to scroll through all the results that show up below. But now, that search bar and what I typed follow me as I move down the list. I need the search bar to stay stuck in its fixed spot at the top of the page. Please tell me how to put it back exactly like it used to be. Maybe an experimental flag I can turn off? Thank you guys From this Imgur Back to this Imgur

Chrome's search box keeps moving up or down when I scroll through results. It has that white background behind it which takes up too much screen space. Since I have bad eyes, everything looks tiny on my screen. My zoom magnifier is always at the bottom, so keeping the Google bar fixed at the top helps use more of my view. If nothing works, I can just erase the search box with Ublock Origin and type into the address bar instead.

Never mind, I used Ublock Origin to get rid of the search bar completely. I can still go to google.com by clicking on a bookmarks tab. Adding these extra filters to UBO means there is no longer a search bar showing up when you do a search! 2022-03-25 https://www.firefold.com [URL="http://www.firefold.com##.mobile-hidden.header__nav[/URL]"]www.firefold.com##.mobile-hidden.header__nav [/URL] [URL="http://www.firefold.com##.header__announcement-bar[/URL]"]www.firefold.com##.header__announcement-bar [/URL] ! 2022-03-26 https://www.google.com [URL="http://www.google.com##.yIbDgf.Q3DXx[/URL]"]www.google.com##.yIbDgf.Q3DXx [/URL] [URL="http://www.google.com##.dodTBe[/URL]"]www.google.com##.dodTBe [/URL]
