The animated Google doodles that appear when I open an new browser tab in Chrome is distracting. The Doodle is soccer/World cup animation. I want it to not animate.

Yes, you can use ublock. There's a button on the extension to remove elements from a website. Or if you're on mobile you can use Brave browser which has the same function.

Thanks. I have uBlock. But it looks like with the latest Chrome it does not block

On 149.0.7827.156, Zapper mode still works for me. However...

If you just open a new tab and use google that way, it seems zapper mode doesn't work there. If you navigate to google.com it does work there.

I think Chrome might lock down what's really a chrome page and not let extensions mess around.
