“Just give me the f***ing links!”—Cursing disables Google’s AI overviews
The latest trick to stop those annoying AI answers is also the most cathartic.

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:
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
Brb, yelling obscenities at my work computer to see if Copilot will uninstall itself
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)
Not for me it isnt
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
