Google destroys Search formatting with unremovable "AI sidebar"
This is unbelievable. Let me rephrase that, it's completely believable
for Google these days. On Chrome, any use of Google Search now takes
up about 1/4 horizontally of the screen with a useless AI sidebar,
useless for the obvious reasons. If you try minimize, it reduces in
size (it does not go away entirely) but then leaves the rest of the
screen text truncated (that is, completely cut off and not readable)
on the left. So far, I have not found any way to avoid this, other
than using Firefox, where this problem does not exist.
GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER GOOGLE. JEEZ!
