How do I remove the favicons from Google search results?

See the favicons with the red box around them. This is a recent addition and is not caused by anything else as it's a fresh install of chrome.

I would like to disable these. Is there a setting in Chrome to remove them?

The same search in firefox, for example, doesn't have them, so I assume this is a new chrome thing.

Also, instead of the full URL showing it shows a shortened version. This is something else that has changed recently.

It appears that the only solution for now is to filter out those icons using adblock extension of your choice (uBlock Origin, Adblock/Adblock Plus, etc). Signing out of your Google account does not help anymore.

The below filter applied in uBlock Origin works for google.com:

google.com##.xA33Gc

Add those codes into your installed/favorite adblock extension:

google.com##.TbwUpd
google.com##.yWc32e
google.com##.ab_ctl
google.com##.fl

Remove google.com##.fl if you dont want keep translate this page URL

change google.com if you using google in your country as like I am using Google Norway.

google.no##.TbwUpd
google.no##.yWc32e
google.no##.ab_ctl
google.no##.fl
