Anyone know a good way to disable the ai summary on Google results? I know I should move over to kagi, but a ublock filter or something would still be nice.

Add `udm=14` to the Google search query string... e.g. I changed my browser's default search engine shortcut.

`google.com##.hdzaWe` blocks the AI summary. This is better than udm=14 because it doesn't suppress the other sometimes-useful non-AI Google answer blocks.

adding easylist - annoyances (specifically the 'ai widgets' section) to your ublock filter lists should get rid of it! it doesn't catch it 100% of the time (the AI summary escapes when there's links above it in search results), but it gets rid of it most of the time.

Switched to Qwant because of that .. (corporate laptop does not allow changing the search engine urls, only changing the engine itself)

Honestly ? Not a stressy move, the major things that changes is that the IA bullshit is gone
