“Just give me the f***ing links!”—Cursing disables Google’s AI overviews

  More recently, some Google users have noticed that appending the string “-ai” to a search (without quotes) seems to also turn off AI Overviews in the results.

  Not as much fun, but good to know.

  There’s a bit of text you can add to the google search to have it exclude Gemini. This site does it for you: udm14.com I did a search in this, then copied the url result into my browser settings replacing my search word with %s. I haven’t seen the AI results since

  Is ublock origin blocking Google’s AI? Because I often use google along side searxng and I swear to god I haven’t seen it once (and hope to not see it)

    I think I added the Google summary section to a ublock rule years ago and I think Google may have reused that or I just added the first ai response section I saw to a new rule awhile ago because I also didn’t see them frequently/at all
