How to stop Google widget ad pop up

Why has this not been fixed? The google widget ad pop up was a previous support question with no reply from you. EXTREMEly frustrating.


iPhone 7, iOS 14

Yes, there was another older thread with the exact same question. Never saw the issue resolved though.


The issue is when I open up Safari on my iPhone (7) there is now a Google pop up badge that says "Fast access to GOogle" Get the new Google widget and a button for "Get the app". I have to close it on every single new Safari page. It's extremely annoying. I don't want the Google widget - never will. Pop-ups are blocked on my phone. Same issue others in the earlier thread were having. So I switched to a different search engine and that took care of the problem, but WTF. Apple should have a way to block that crap.
