Disable Google Search Text Highlights

Disable Google Search Text Highlights Mode Free Download

This minimalistic extension disables “Scroll to Text Fragment” feature in Google search results
Google search results sometimes highlight text snippets on pages opened from search results.

The feature can sometimes be annoying, however currently there’s no way to disable it from browser preferences.

This extension has been created to override it and disable the highlights.
