## Description

Clarity Browser Extension: Minimal, Focused Search Results for Google, Bing and Yahoo

Clarity acts as a first line of defense against digital clutter during web searches. Designed to work alongside tools like uBlock Origin or Pi-hole, it focuses specifically on cleaning up Google, Bing and Yahoo search result pages. Clarity automatically removes ads, AI-generated summaries and related queries directly in the browser, ensuring a focused and distraction-free experience. It operates purely client-side, modifying only the HTML of search pages according to your preferences, making it a safe and privacy-friendly choice for cleaner results.

Key Features:
- Removes Google, Bing and Yahoo Advertisements: Blocks intrusive sponsored content and ads to simplify search pages, making them quicker and easier to read.
- Filters Out AI-Generated Summaries: Disables auto-generated AI content from Google´s and Bing´s Search.
- Hides Related Queries and Sidebar Widgets: Removes “People also ask,” related queries and discovery widgets.
- Fully Customizable Per-Engine Filtering: Customize filters independently for Google, Bing & Yahoo using a straightforward settings interface.
- Lightweight, Efficient, and Privacy-Focused: Runs quietly on search pages without slowing down your browsing or collecting any personal data.

4. Use the intuitive, tabbed interface to switch between Google, Bing and Yahoo filter settings.

6. Your settings are saved locally in your browser to ensure your preferences persist.
7. Continue enjoying streamlined, distraction-free search experiences with the flexibility to modify filters anytime.
