#3Thanks, I appreciate the detailed instructions. Just did all of my browsers to escape the AI. (Which in most cases looked like the first choice just reworded some.
OTOH, I'm thinking about clicking that Make Default button on DuckDuckGo and skipping the entire mess.

#6If only Safari supported OpenSearch, or at least manually defined custom search engines. Apple's greed is getting more and more frustrating as a user.
That said, I personally like Google's AI overviews. What I find much more frustrating is the "reels-like" UI the mobile page devolves into when scrolling past the first 10 or so results. I really wish there was a way to get one without the other.

#9Not sure what the fuss is about. I've actually found the overviews to be quite helpful for a bunch of my searches since it was turned on. My impression so far has been nothing but positive.
Is it a principles thing or are people really hating on having to scroll past a paragraph or two? If it's the former, well good luck with that.
In general, Google is really undermining their whole business model with the AI Overview paragraph as it will take away from their AdWord link revenue just as much as organic traffic to other sites.
Once Google realizes this, they'll inevitably have to manipulate the AI paragraph content for commercial reasons. That'll be fun! Then everyone will look back on the current "clean" AI output with fondness.
