Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

Tack "&udm=14" on to the end of a normal search, and you'll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

A small proxy site was written to do this for you: https://udm14.com/

Can also just add a custom search engine to Firefox with the search URL string:

https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s

No need to go through a completely separate site.

And this way you'll be sure the intermediate site isn't also scraping your data.

That site is open source, in GitHub. Not much to it.
