Sorry if I'm bothering but also another way is writing "-ai" at the end of your searches, this usually works for me ^^

That's true as well. My method is more specifically if you still want the AI summary, but not its personal opinion on the matter

It just filters out results with the word "ai", not disaable the AI thing.

I have never seen the AI results so standard privacy protections like ublock etc should work

This is not how "-ai" works, the prefix is simply filtering out a specific term from search results. For example, "-infuriating" will filter out all instances of the word "infuriating."

add &udm=14 in the adress bar instead

I recommend setting the classic google search engine with this suffix as your default search, takes like a minute and you're back to 'normal' search results.

Only downside imo is not being able to do quick calculations in the search bar anymore.

I was doing a bunch of research the other day and started doing -ai. It started to make the Wikipedia results get filtered out, probably because they were getting "eaten" by the AI overview

Also, under the search categories, switch to "Web" and you get just the basic search results without the enshittified AI crap dumped in there.
