The AI generated search blurb is annoying but easy to scroll past (I usually use a cookieless browser so the dismissal option doesn’t work from session to session). What really annoys me are the AI generated websites that pop up as search results. All of them are formatted basically the same so it’s easy to spot after clicking in, but that wastes a lot of time vs previously being able to just scan the preview text.
If you use DDG, set up a search source with the url https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ Then you can have no ai and no cookies.
This worked! Very excited to stop having to see that, thanks!
In case anyone else runs across this I chose “add a search engine” in my browser and used the address above plus “search/?q=%s” and it works like a charm:)
