Well thanks, that explains why my search suddenly went to shit last week. The web tab is all the way to the right so out of sight. I don't suppose there's a firefox extension to auto select web.. i know nothing about these things
I'm sure there will be in the coming weeks. It's just a brand new change, so no one has published an extension yet. I did learn you can block the ai results with uBlock origin, however, so that's huge.
I got ublacklist and got rid of tiktok and instagram immediately but i still dislike the whole format. Tried a bunch of other search engines and they all seemed pretty similar.
You can probably update the, search url template for Google in the Firefox settings to go to the Web tab. Or make a new one and make it default.
Just use kagi. Statistically better.
Most normies will never pay for a search engine. I've tried and tried to show them the advantages of Kagi but the value just isn't there for them. I ditched Google for Kagi long ago and I couldn't be happier.
