    Google has been my default search engine in Firefox for… Well, pretty much ever. Lately when you go there, there’s a full screen pop up asking if you want to try out AI Search mode. Nevermind the fact that I already applied a ublock filter to cut out their AI summary bullshit, no this is on top of that. You can click on the AI mode button, or click Not Interested.

    I have clicked Not Interested every few days for the last month or so. Without fail, every two to three days max, it asks again in a full screen pop up. Every time, Not Interested.

    And today I just said, why in the fuck am I doing this? I finally fucking switched. Fuck Google and fuck this AI trend. I’m so goddamn sick of it being crammed down my fucking throat holy shit. If I fucking say Not Interested, it means I am NOT FUCKING INTERESTED.

      They just don’t take a no, do they? Same with shorts on YouTube but at least they can be blocked properly… for now.

      If I may ask, what se arch engine do you use now? I’m using duckduckgo and it’s alright but maybe there’s better ones? They also have ai but it’s not too much in your face.
