Google Search Web Filter Extension

Features:
• Removes sections such as AI Overview, Images, Videos, Top stories, Local news, etc.
• Removes tracking parameters from the URLs of Google searches.
• Ability to change the filter after you search (e.g., Images filter).
• Redirects to the Web filter when you search using the address bar or New Tab page search box.
• The extension does not redirect to the Web filter when you use the search box on the search results page. This allows you to continue searching under a different filter (e.g., Images) without having to switch back to it after each search.

Caveats:
• In order to use Google Search tools (e.g., calculator, unit converter, color picker, etc.), you need to switch to the All filter after you perform a search.
• Based on the structure of Google Search URLs, searches entered directly on Google domain homepages (e.g., google.com) will not be redirected to the Web filter. If I implemented this feature, it would also redirect you back to the Web filter when you try switching to a different filter after you perform a search.
