haven’t used Google’s search engine for a long time, but a quick test seems that appending -ai to your search still returns results without the AI overview at the top of the page
the results are still loaded with trash and ads, though, and this won’t work if you’re searching via voice on your phone

Unfortunately, the Google app ("hey Google" wake word) that is being used here, can't add/use extensions.

it is paid. if you pay, you are a customer. if you get it "for free", you are the merchandise that is being sold and the merchandise is not really expected to complain.

I'm not casting aspersions on kagi, I've heard nothing but good things about them, but I don't agree with the idea that paying means you're not the merchandise. Once a company gets greedy enough, with few enough competitors, you'll be both the customer and the merchandise.

I'm getting as much use out of them as I can before they become terrible.

Once a company gets greedy enough
once a thing happens, you reevaluate and choose the best decision at that time, that is how life works. i am talking about today 🤷♂️

wtf is this discussion?
- hey, i have problem with shitty service x
- you may want to try service y, because it is not shitty
- but the service y may become shitty in the future and i will for some strange reason not be able to leave, here is my phony outrage!

Throughout all of human history we've had an incredible amount of inertia against change.

I've heard nothing but good things about them
Here's a negative then: AI summaries are on all tiers. That means you're paying/subsidizing them, even if you don't use them.
If they offered tiers without AI summaries (with a lower price due to the loss of a so-called "feature") then we can talk

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
*� Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
*�️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
*� Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
*�️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
*� Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
*� Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
*�☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
*� Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

So my strategy is using https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ as search engine. I have installed the uBlacklist add on, this let's me block out websites completely on the internet with a single click in my search results. So whenever I search a topic and end up on one of those websites that are fully LLM-generated I hit that button.
I will only help very shorty until the whole internet is eaten up by LLMs, but it gives me a feeling of control.
