I've wondered this too. Just typing a single letter or two into Google immediately suggests stuff. I hate it. I don't want these random suggestions entering my brain.

you can turn them off, if you log in.

It's not just suggestions. On mobile front page they are showing suggestions of what people are searching without even typing word

Back in the day I wrote a Google frontend so that I could get search results on a low-bandwidth connection (basically just a fancy proxy server). I bet you could similarly block out the suggestions.

Actually, you could probably just DNS block those? I'll check later on desktop, but Google has a habit of throwing everything on a new domain.
