Disable Google Instant Preview with GreaseMonkey Script

Google keeps bringing in a lot of new features and I must admit I am a fan of most new features. Though sometimes these very features can be a little irritating. Take Google instant preview feature which allows me to get a preview of the website while I mouse-over the search result. Unlike Google Instant this feature cannot be turned off. 🙁

Thanks to a post I came across online, I only have to install a GreaseMonkey Script on my Firefox browser and it gives me the option to “Disable Instant Preview”.

For Firefox users

• If you are using Firefox browser you will need to install GreaseMonkey Add-on. You can read all about it here.
• After that just download the script from userscripts.org.
• Firefox will install the script and restart. You should be able to see a “Disable Instant Preview” option like you see in the image above.

For Chrome users

• Chrome browser has internal support for all GreaseMonkey scripts.
• Simply download the script from here and the script installs like any Chrome extension.
• Now your Chrome browser will also show a “Disable Instant Previews” link.
