    Yesterday I learned that if you add a "profanity" to your google search,
    it doesn't give you the ged awful AI overview in the results.

    That gave me 5 minutes of fun.

    If you use Startpage you get the same search results as Google but without
    all the Google AI and cross promotion stuff. Still get basic text/shopping
    ads unless you adblock though.
