Oh, sorry. It works in Edge browser. But not work in my Chrome Browser. I'm trying to figure out the reason.

I find an interesting phenomenon. Let me share with you.

I'm from China. So I need to use a proxy to access the Google search. When I block the Google search location track by ip and clean the browser cookie, just like the below picture. the “Show or Hide” option at the top of Google search results will disappear.

I think it is a bug. My bro, You can check it out when you have free time.

You can find more about how to turn off the Google search location track by ip in this document and clean the browser to reproduce the process.

给中国的小伙伴提供一个思路。谷歌搜索的ip追踪可以关闭，但是搜索的语言设置不要设置成en，改回中文简体，ublacklist这个展示按钮就恢复过来了。具体的原因我也不清楚。仅供参考。

前段时间安装的一个chrome插件，会默认将谷歌搜索的语言设置成en，所以如果此插件不关闭，你修改设置语言，会发现提示修改成功，但是还是en。所以在修改语言之前，记得将这个插件关闭或者卸载掉。

To date, I have not been able to reproduce this issue.

Google occasionally tests new layouts on a limited number of users. Problems with such new layouts are often difficult to reproduce.

I see ublacklist momentarily flash. I just noticed it today... maybe they released an update.

ublacklist filters out the links but then they re-appear :'(
