Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: block the "Solitaire" game in Google's search results

It appears that the trigger is based on the following div:

<div class="mhPjTc">Click to Play</div>

You could block that div in your adblocker.

Hi wraith808,
Thank-you; you were the first person with a helpful reply.
1) The URLs you give just go to empty pages, so that part wasn't helpful.
2) I don't use an adblocker. There are lots of them out there, each with its unique way of implementing their technique. Which do you recommend?
Thanks again for your help.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: block the "Solitaire" game in Google's search results

« on: September 03, 2018, 01:10 PM »

The greatest productivity killer I know of is the Solitaire game which is built into Google Search.
I have looked for a way to stop me from playing it, to no avail. I suppose that means the greatest productivity killer is me. Call it whatever you want; I'm looking for help.
The obvious solution is to block Google Search altogether, and use Bing. But I'd rather not do that.
I use the excellent K9 Web Protection to block me from playing most games online.

I know zilch about programming, so don't know if what I'm requesting is even possible.
Thanks for considering it.

Unfortunately, this Giveaway got hijacked early on when someone posted the comment that it doesn't work with Gmail. It actually does!
However, from that point on, people just kept repeating the mantra "piece of rubbish" without even trying it for themselves. I see the same thing happened in this forum. I hope GAOTD gives it another chance.
