They have a persistent cookie to allow you to turn off things like the predictive text and personalized search, so why can't they allow me to turn the other extras off as well? @Hofo: It’s not that I don’t want Google to search everything and provide you the results, what I want is the ability for the Google search page to only show me the standard, old-fashioned results without all the real-time, images, shopping and news commingled with them.

The best solution would be for Google to make it where those features could be turned off on a per-session basis, say with a non-expiring cookie, so that all users could be set free regardless of what browser they use. @fiftyfootblogger: While it would be cool for someone to write a Greasemonkey script, those are only available to people using that plugin.
