Annoying ad - Google search on safari in iOS 14

[QFace]

Like many people, I do most of my google searches in safari on iOS. Recently, a small pop-up appears at the bottom of the screen that reads “Get the app and add the widget to your home screen” whenever I do a google search.

The only way to get rid of it is to try to click a tiny “x” that is almost impossible to click. If I do clear it, it pops up for the next search without fail. It takes up a fair amount of screen real estate and I find it infuriating. Anybody know how to permanently remove it? I haven’t been able to find anything on the web about it.

I can’t imagine Apple would be happy about it - it definitely detracts from the experience when using the default search engine.

There's nothing you can do about it. It's part of the webpage.

1Blocker can block that kind of stuff. Better yet, don’t use Google.

Wanted to give a valuable hint for all AdGuard (Free) users. It doesn't block that silly widget popup banner initially, but when you click on [aA] > Adguard > "block certain element on this side" you can mark that banner (might have to expand the area with 2-3 clicks) and confirm your selection, this gets added to your own custom filters and should never bother you again

P.S. Google's monopoly sucks. I despise their aggressive ad- and subcription-poltics especially with youtube. Luckily, Adguard + PiPfier make the experience good again in Safari. Now what I just miss is a tool to lock the standard res to 720p instead of 360p. Auto-HD for YT doesn't seem to work, sadly. Open for hints.
