Arfa B Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 No matter what I try, I CANNOT turn off this damn Google instant setting! I have tried everything including, eventually turning off Javascript on google.co.uk. Firstly, they tried to force you in to signing up with gmail, by using a ploy to stop the Google auto background appearing, then thus damn Google instant appreared with predicitve text which just gets on my nerves. Then, when you start an image search it default to 10,000 images per page- which you can't turn off! Add to that the annoying sponsored links appear before anything in any search now, and this damn "instant" CANNOT be turned off in Firefox. Well, I have gone over to bing, and quite frankly it is much better. http://www.bing.com/ If I have helped you with a Freebie- please be kind enough to add a link from your own site or blog to mine- thanks! http://arthurburton.net Thank You!

BWorld Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I simply refuse to use Bing because it is backed by the biggest ripoff artist I know, Microsoft. Google is at least open sourced and everything is free. ██ Stream101 | Affordable Media Solutions ██ Shared cPanel?
