It removed the icon but, since I don't have to actually click the icon, Instant Previews was still activated by clicking anywhere in the results. Now it seems to work well in disabling Instant Previews entirely. Thanks!

Loaded up refreshed the goggle search page and the Magnifying lenses had disappeared.

Clicked all over the page and only action I saw was when I hit a link.

A Sanity Saver.

What the use of removing preview button, if preview is activated anyway if you click near the link.
