Anyone have a way to stop ai search crap on ipad mini in safari using google? [View all]

I have researched this and tried a few things, but it doesn’t seem to be working. At least not consistently and it keeps coming back. I tried an app suggested, and did as instructed but it’s not really working. Sometimes it seems to work however, if you click on the suggested questions when you search some of them are still AI crap.

At first, I was not so bothered by the AI search. It just seemed to be taking things from websites that it linked. Although it was much harder to search and find things I knew were available. But now it has expanded to actually giving opinions and a lot of misinformation which is alarming to me.

I used to get much better results just searching on my own for various articles and things that I wanted to research.

I was able to do it on my laptop easily though, in chrome anyway, with an extension that blocks it.
