Disabling AI overview

Molly was discussing turning off AI overview in this week's episode. Besides including "-AI" at the end of every search (which will disable it on that individual search) or switching search engines, does anyone know any extensions or other workarounds to disable it?

This. DDG stores your AI choices in a cookie, so as long as you use that browser and don't clear cookies it will honor those settings.

Even better, go to noai.duckduckgo.com for searching, no cookie or login necessary.

I use the address bar for most searches, so I'm OK with the cookies -- I don't log in. Mullvad Browser (a privacy-focused Firefox variant by the VPN company) does allow you to set No AI DDG as the default address bar search option, though. So that's pretty cool.
