Remove google search inputs for privacy #11880

Open Apro123 opened 3 years ago

Apro123 commented 3 years ago

Description

You see that privacy is what Brave prides itself on, but sometimes when I visit a website

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Type in anything in google.com For example "api security"
  2. Click on a website link. For example: redhat.com

Actual result:

Notice how the url adds "#:~:text=Web%20API%20security%20is%20concerned,are%20connected%20to%20the%20internet.&text=Most%20API%20implementations%20are%20either,Layer%20Security%20(TLS)%20encryption." to the actual url which is simply https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/security/api-security

Expected result:

Simply the url visited would be https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/security/api-security and all the extra unnecessary stuff, which is basically tracking our online habits and other SEO stuff, would get removed.

Reproduces how often:

Reproduced whenever a website decides to use this feature.

I would like this scroll to text feature to be a toggle in settings (and perhaps also the menu bar).
