De-Google-ify Your Homepage: The Artless Edition

Well, you’re not alone in the quest of knowing how to banish that Google art from your homepage. Believe it or not, there’s a whole army of us out there, and today, we’ll march together towards an art-free Google homepage.

The Redirect Trick

The first trick out of our hats is the good ol’ redirect.

Chrome’s Native Options

If the first trick doesn’t appeal to you, there’s another option residing right within your Chrome browser.

Navigate to Chrome’s settings, and under appearance, there’s an option for disabling the background image. A couple of clicks here, then hey presto, Google’s art has been given an eviction notice!

Lovely Browser Extensions

Oh, the wonders of browser extensions. If you’re getting sick of Google’s daily art, a few browser extensions can help you out. There is an array of them out there that ensures the Google doodles become virtually invisible. Just remember, get these from trusted sources to avoid any unwanted cyber headaches.

Keep It Incognito

Now, this might sound a bit extreme, but hey, desperate times, desperate measures, right?

We notice that when you use incognito mode on your browser, Google doesn’t throw art your way. Don’t ask us why, maybe Google understands privacy extends to freedom from art as well?

Contacting Google – Last Resort

If none of these options float your boat, you could always reach out to the big G (Google) directly. Use feedback to tell them how their incessant creativity is driving you to distraction. Who knows, they might just listen!


As you can see, saying adios to Google’s art from your homepage isn’t the stuff of rocket science. With these tips, you can transform your homepage to be as boring or as exciting (toolbars are exciting, right?) as you prefer. After all, it’s your digital space. You should get to decide what it looks like. Here’s wishing you an art-free digital life!
