Quiche Industries (Greg de J.): Starting today, Quiche Browser disables AI overviews in search results by default, out of the box.
Compare how much space and time they waste. I love the web too much to let that nonsense bury links to real websites made by humans.
This is my modest contribution to the fight against the dead internet theory. Why no other browser does that is beyond me.
To elaborate a bit:
• It simply opens search results in the AI-free versions of Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and Brave, whenever they’re selected as the default search engine. • No content blocker involved. Search results are served as-is. • AI features can be turned back on in Settings → Search.
I wrote about Quiche Browser a few months ago, praising it for, amongst numerous other features and aspects, its built-in JavaScript toggle. This is another killer feature. Traditional no-AI web search is a splendid default. Making it an option to enable if that’s what you want is the right way to do this.
