This is so important and valuable. A way to get "Google search without the crap." Notably AI crap, which destroys G-search utility. Intro'd here: tedium.co/2024/05/17/g... In practice: After a Google search, click on "Web." You'll get the de-crapped results.
How I Made Google’s “Web” View My Default Search
Forget AI. Google just created a version of its search engine free of the extra junk it has added over the past decade-plus. You just need one URL parameter.
We should also try to stop using Google
Could you do this with safari on mobile? I already have ublock blocking the element that shows the AI but I can’t block it on mobile :(
It is not infeasible that Google implemented this feature so that the people who work at Google...can actually use Google. (edited to fix typo)
