Traffic / Re: How to block Google's annoying AI overviews and just get search results

>lots of steps

Debbie: Dark pattern.

from the Ars Technica article posted:
"The power-user way to use Google Search web now takes a lot of clicks. You'd want to click on "more" and then "Web" for actual web results, and then to get Google to actually pay attention to the words you type in, you'd want to click "Tools" and change "all results" to "verbatim." Alternatively, you could also find a more web-focused search engine instead of Google."

>3. Gov't anti-trust regulation

Somehow, I think this shift is in preparation for the inevitable US anti-trust regulation.  EU has already started tightening the screws on tracking.
