Details
This tweek transforms google.com into a 1970s-style command-line terminal with a black screen, green monospace text, blinking cursor, and CRT-inspired scanline and flicker effects. Instead of Google's standard layout, you type a search directly into the terminal-style prompt or use commands like search, help, and clear.
On Google search result pages, the terminal view displays extracted search results with numbered entries, visible URLs, snippets, and clickable titles that open in a new tab. It also keeps a command history with the up and down arrow keys, making repeated searches feel like working inside a vintage text terminal.
