As you probably know, Google is constantly changing their algorithm to make your search experience better or different. A lot of these changes are for the better, but some feel more significant than others.

One such change that has received a fair amount of criticism is called “trending searches”. The way this works is every hour, around the clock, Google will rank the top results from each topic based off how many times those same results have performed well in the past.

This can be annoying if you don't like any of those results. If you do, though, it's great because now they're more prominently displayed to other users!

If you want to try avoiding trending searches, here are three easy ways to do so. We'll go over them in detail along with what tools you need to perform them.

Luckily, you can easily turn off this feature if you would like to keep it that way! To do so, open the Google app and go into Settings. Then, under Navigation, tap Create New Tab. You will now have to choose Between Now and Later or Never create a new one!

Google now includes some helpful information about why this setting is active and what types of websites may use it. They even include the option to disable it completely, but we recommend leaving this enabled unless you know what website is causing the issue.

Now that you have found how to make it so there is no new tab when you click around tabs, let us talk about how to turn off smartphone-specific features like the trending searches feature.

If you feel that this feature is annoying or unnecessary, you can always go into your settings and disable it!

Go to Settings > Apps > All apps > Chachkes (Trending)

You will see an option here to toggle this feature On or Off. By leaving this setting turned off, the system will no longer try to determine what you want to read and suggest content accordingly.

Now that you have learned how to turn off quick tabs in Chrome, let us move onto another feature of the Google Browser where it creates new tabs automatically when you perform a search.

If you are ever experiencing an annoying situation where every time you do a web search, there will be a newer tab with the result opened, this can be disabled easily.

Go to google.com/search and look for “Make changes to your Google account�” or something similar. You will see a link which says ‘Google Accounts’ under Settings. Click that and then choose Manage accounts.

You will now see all your existing Google services like Gmail, YouTube, etc along with some others. Just make sure to check the right box next to Toogle Default app access, set up sync at a specific location and toggle device visibility.

For default app access, simply uncheck the box next to The Google App. For sync at a specific location, leave it checked but change the field to Location instead of All fields. And lastly, for device visibility, just untick the box next to Limit phone access.

This is similar to how you can turn off apps on your smartphone, so why not do it with Google? You can choose to either completely deactivate the feature or simply limit its use to only certain types of searches.

If you want to keep using the feature though, you can switch to the paid version which will remove this limitation. The free version comes with 250 minutes of usage per month! If you need more than that, you should consider paying for the premium plan as it costs just $4.99 per month.

If you are looking to reduce your smartphone usage, then it is time to start limiting what apps you use. One of the most overused apps on the market today is actually part of the stock software that we have access to through our devices!

Google itself makes an excellent argument as to why this is (yes, even they do!), so why not give their tips a try before completely disabling the feature? You can choose to either limit how many results or how long users must wait until result-filled pages occur.

Limiting how many results you get will clearly improve the experience for those who find too much content online distracting at best and harmful at worst. For them, these changes will keep things under control.

If you are reading this article, then it is very likely that you have noticed that every time you do a search on your phone, Google will sometimes create a new tab or window to show you some information related to what you were looking for before.

This can be annoying as most people do not like having too many advertisements while searching online.

Google has several features which help promote their products by showing you relevant content and ads. But they also add these extra tabs for totally unrelated reasons, making them quite distracting.

Here are some ways to prevent this behavior on an individual level. However, the best way to truly keep this feature to an absolute minimum is to completely turn off this browser extension in all of your browsers.

So why should we care about this?

It is important to note that this feature does more than just provide flashy decorations to your web browsing experience. It actually helps promote Google services such as YouTube and Maps.

Now that you know how to make your current browser tabs disappear, it is time to learn how to prevent future ones from being created. If you are looking to avoid this happening automatically at all times, there is an easy way to do so!

Google makes its searches easily accessible to users by offering them as a browser extension in their Chrome web store. When someone else clicks onto a link or does something like refresh the page, then the next person can access the same information they could have gotten before through the built-in browser function. This is not only annoying but also creates more traffic for the site due to people having to go into additional effort to get the info.

If you would like to avoid this, there is a simple trick you can use to do so. Simply delete your google account, or disable the extensions within chrome that offer the service. You will need to do this before these features are reenabled.

Now that you have found how to turn off Instant On, it is time to address another annoying feature of the web browsing app that most people will complain about – the constant trending searches.

As mentioned before, when Instant On is turned on, there is an option to add a site as a favorite which then creates a shortcut in the brows bar with a white tile with the name of the site underlined.

This sounds pretty useful, but what happens if you want to go back to the normal mobile website style interface? You can!

It is possible to completely remove these quick shortcuts by going into your google settings -> apps & features -> find instant online (or something similar) - and untick or uncheck "create sync item".
