I have Javascript turned off entirely for www.google.com because I don't like the redirects on their links and I have found no other way to get rid of them in Chrome.

I tried instant search in Firefox. I don't like the way the search box changes position and I don't like the big drop-down notification and I don't like the way that when you press Enter, it refreshes the results. I guess it's safe to say I don't like it.

May I ask what you are using to disabled Javascript on the Google search pages? That sounds really useful.

I'd be interested to. At the moment I just use Firefox web browser and the Webdeveloper plugin added with a tick on option 'disable Javascript'

In Chrome, I go to Wrench -> Options -> Under the Hood -> Content Settings... -> Javascript -> Exceptions... -> Add... -> Pattern: www.google.com Action: Block

That is perfect, thank you very much!
