To apply content modifications to Google:

  2. Create a content modification policy with Google in the What field and Apply one or more of these as the Action:
    • Remove Adverts from Google
    • Block Google Doodle Games: Removes games including Pacman, Minesweeper, Tic tac toe, Animal sounds, Memory game, and Snake.
    • Remove Translation From Google and Bing Search Results

      Tip

      To apply Remove Translation From Google and Bing Search Results to both Google and Bing, select Search Engines in the What field.

    • Remove YouTube videos from Google Search
    • Google Web Search: Basic Mode: Removes everything that's not an actual search result from the search results page, including YouTube videos, Adverts, Translations, AI Summaries and more.

You can’t use content Modification to prevent users from using Google’s Easter Eggs. Instead, use Search term filtering to block these search keywords and phrases:

  • askew
  • do a barrel roll
  • game of life
  • blink html
  • google in 1998
