Will cut the AI results out of your google searches by switching the browser's default to the web api..

I cannot tell you how much I love it.

    Or better yet, ditch Google altogether.

    I switched to Startpage, an EU-based search engine.

    Not EU based, and not free, but I’ve been loving Kagi.

    For Firefox on Android (which TenBlueLinks doesn't have listed) add a new search engine and use these settings:

    Name: Google Web

    Search string URL: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14

    as @Saltarello@lemmy.world learned before I did, strip the number 25 from the string above so it looks more like this:

    www .google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14

    Edit: Lemmy/Voyager formats this string with 25 at the end. Remove the 25 & save it as a browser search engine

    EDIT: There's got to a Markdown option for disabling markdwon auto-formatting links, right?? The escape backslash seems to not be working for this specifically.

    EDIT II: Found a nasty hack that does the trick!

    https[]()://www.example.com/search?q=%s

    appears as:

    https://www.example.com/search?q=%s

    I would like to say Google is still better at finding search results with more than one word. For example, if somebody searches "santa claus porn" then DuckDuckGo or Ecosia will probably return images of porn or images of santa claus instead of images of santa claus porn.

    However that is no longer true either, because google search continues to get worse all the time. So it's like there isn't any good search engines anymore.
