About this extension
Google search is broken — and there's academic research to prove it.
A peer-reviewed study from Leipzig University found that top-ranked Google results are systematically dominated by affiliate-driven spam, with higher-ranked pages showing lower text quality than those buried deeper. Meanwhile, ads eat the first scroll, Pinterest clogs image-adjacent searches, Reddit and Quora flood the rest, and AI-generated filler fills the gaps.
SearchClear puts a slim toolbar directly above your Google results. No new tab, no separate app. Just pill-style toggles you hit once and keep searching.
Primary filters (one click each): No sponsored / ads · No affiliate spam · No Pinterest · No AI-generated filler · No Reddit / Quora flood · No news sites · Date range controls · Custom domain blocklist
For power users — result range offset: Jump straight to results 50–100, 100–200, or any range you set — bypassing the SEO arms race entirely.
No account. No tracking. No data sent anywhere. Works entirely in your browser.
