I switched to LibreWolf, use uBlock Origin and have modified the web search so it uses noai.duckduckgo.com and appends -ai to every Google search query. I'm rather happy with this setup.

I wasn't aware of the "-ai" flags. Good to know.

Do you have a preferred way of blocking domains from appearing in search results? I think there's a limit of only five for some reason.

Paying for Kagi which lets you promote/demote/block domains to your heart's content.

That's not a real thing, just a side effect: AI "quick answers" don't appear when you use search operators. In this case, you are using the minus operator to filter results with the word "AI", which might not be desirable.
I didn't know about ddg's noai subdomain, normal ddg has become unusable with all the ai shit they constantly shove down your throat.

Also, their ai makes copilot look good.
