I tried to find out how to get rid of AI Overview and got this. Feels like Google’s dabbing on me

    Literally just use

    google.com/search?udm=14&q=searchstring

    That’s all you need.

    You can make that a default search engine in whatever browser you use so that it always defaults to that URL. See here for Firefox.

    Note, if you do not have the udm=14 the AI overview is going to show up. As someone else mentioned, blocking with uBlock also works and is probably easier overall since the default search engine/bookmark trick can be finicky to work with.
