Example: do pigs make a mess when eating -ai
In order to use Google search without AI by default without having to type in -ai in your search query, do this:
On a computer version of Google Chrome: go to the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the browser, select Settings.
In the left column, find the “Search Engine” option, click on it.
Find the “Site search” section, click on the “Add” button.
Insert these parameters into the fields:
Name
Google with AI OFF
Shortcut
URL with %s in place of query
{google:baseURL}search?q=%s±ai
Now make that the default search engine: click on the three vertical dots next to it and select Make default.
Now every time you use google search, it will automatically add -ai to the search query.
Unfortunately, you can’t do the same thing on Google Chrome on Android, don’t know about iOS.
