Mac Terminal REGEX behaves a bit differently. I was able to do this on my Mac using the following example:

$ curl google.com | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'
% Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100   219  100   219    0     0    385      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--   385

$ curl googl.com

Also the annoying curl header can be rid of using the -s option:

$ curl -s google.com | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'
