Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/136

Describe the bug
When shopping tab is clicked, two headers (logo and search bar) are displayed instead of the usual header. Plus, the whole page for shopping is in a expanded mobile view but not in a desktop view.

While looking into this issue, I realized the shopping tab actually may need it's own separate filtering step, as there's a few things wrong with it.

Beyond just the styling issues -- the double header, missing max width and margin: 0 auto properties, etc -- a majority of the results link to Google adclick redirects (i.e. google.com/aclk?...) and don't contain any immediately discernible parameter for determining the true URL of the intended page. I pushed a hotfix to remove all links to the shopping tab temporarily until this can be addressed more thoroughly.

Hi, is there any timeframe to bringing back the shopping tab, its the only reason I have to use googles website sometimes.

Given how complex the Google Shopping search has become and how variable it is from search to search, there doesn't appear to be a feasible way to bring this feature back.
