@Vivaldi I’d like to be able to hide the AI summary on Google’s search results page. This feature is very inaccurate and often gets things wrong. Plus, there’s no option to turn it off. It forces the summary onto users who don’t want it and wastes electricity.

    RE: https://hachyderm.io/@dalias/112490437948354523 @kyu3a @Vivaldi I think this should work in Vivaldi. It'd be nice if they'd make it the default or at least an option in the default list:

    @kyu3a @Vivaldi best solution is to just use a different search engine tbf

    @kyu3a unfortunately that's because you visit google.com. If you don't visit google.com this wouldn't be a problem.

    @kyu3a @Vivaldi The best solution to this problem is to use a search engine that does not provide an AI summary. Try Duck Duck Go.

  • @kyu3a @Vivaldi You can either add &udm=14 to the query url, which turns AI summary off for that query, or you can use DuckDuckGo or some other search engine that lets you disable AI. (StartPage, as far as I can tell, doesn't have any AI features.)

    @kyu3a Apart from everyone else pointing out this is a search engine problem not a browser problem, in general I wouldn't want my browser to carte-blance remove or filter (or in any way "interpret" my chosen web content. Its different when a plugin does this, because adding the plugin to your browser is an opt-in affair; and ux wise, when a plugin filters or alters content there's a way to notice or find out what it is doing (some kind of "splat"). 1/

  • @kyu3a @Vivaldi you can add -ai to the end of your search term (that is space dash ai) and that turns off the AI summery. At least for now.
