    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.

          I’ve been using startpage, but doesn’t it still rely on google results somehow?

          Yes! Startpage rocks hard. I wish Safari would let it be the default search engine (FF does with a simple plug in).

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

            Seconding Kagi, it’s worth every penny.

            Well, I’m glad. That being said, Startpage is a search engine located in the Netherlands that you can start using now. Just go to the site. Kagi is paid.

          Startpage! No shit. Used to be Ixquick, and I used that for years. Great site - thank you for reminding me it’s still there. :)

      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

        Lemmy also does code markup with `text`

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

          Indeed, @SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone, like so!:

          Markup code techniques with triple backticks and new lines or single backticks without any spacings/new lines

          Edit, oh is it buggy with parameters per downthread? Interesting
