    Does firefox do this automatically? Because I’ve never seen this junk everyone is talking about, and was wondering why. This might explain it.

      I haven’t seen any of this AI stuff yet on my end. I’m wondering if it’s not fully rolled out yet?

        I get that. But I’ve never done that on my own, yet I still get similar results in my searches. Hence my question about firefox doing it automatically.

        *Just tried identical G searches on Firefox and Edge, and there’s definitely something going on filtering out all the garbage. The Edge search is downright unusable. Wow.

        Thank you. I can’t believe I never thought of this.

        For those reading along:

        On Firefox for Android, go to Settings > Search > Default Search Engine > Add Search Engine

        For name, I use “Google Decrapified” For URL, I use “https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s

        I am told the “udm=14” part disables the AI bullshit.
