Google SERP Fixer: No More Stupid Icons!

The new Google search results look terrible, so I fixed them

Google SERP Fixer: No More Stupid Icons! launched on January 24, 2020 with 5 votes, #1,254 of 3,486 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 6 years on.

What it does

Put an end to Google's quest to make search results terrible. SERP Fixer is an extension that takes those stupid favicons out of results, moves the URL back under the title, and makes the Ad icon green again. Fight the power! Or something!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.

When you learn to program there's all of these amazing tutorials, examples and guides, but what was there for new managers? In response to this, a couple of years ago I started a blog over at https://www.theengineeringmanager.com which got a decent amount of…
