I googled turn off the fucking ai and the overviews are now gone. I'm surprised it's that easy to turn off.

Now how do I make "-site=reddit.com" the default? So tired of seeing people ask the same question I had without giving that asshole answers either.

I haven't tried this for adding a parameter but check this article about turning off the AI summary: https://www.tomshardware.com/software/google-chrome/bye-bye-ai-how-to-block-googles-annoying-ai-overviews-and-just-get-search-results

Jump down to "How to block AI overviews when searching from Chrome's address bar on the Desktop" and they walk through adding a Google search with an & parameter. Not sure if it will accept a -site: but worth a try
