On Oct 22, 2025, Aloha desktop browser added an obnoxious "Snips" tool: <https://alohabrowser.com/posts-introducing-enhanced-snips-in-aloha-browser-for-desktops/>
I could not find a published guide (whether in Aloha docs or mainstream outlets) showing way to turn off Snips control for the Windows 4.11.0.0
build in search results. e.g., <https://community.alohabrowser.com/>
So I'm asking here if anyone on the operating system groups has found a way (as it keeps asking to use Snips any time you go to a new domain).
It makes the browser almost unusable.
There must be a way to turn it off.
I started to answer, before I read the whole press release.

"When additional computing power is required, Snips seek user consent
before securely and temporarily connecting to Aloha?s encrypted servers."
At my house, we'd be uninstalling that now.
How many danger signs do you need to see ?
I think the individual in the press release, is Wile E Coyote.
Why not just get the source code for Chromium and make your own browser ?
