Google experiments with sending all Chrome searches straight to AI by default
This change would continue with a series of updates in which Google is pushing its AI search as the default experience.
Fortunately, there are many excellent alternatives out there... no better time to switch.
To name a few: Browser -> Vivaldi, Firefox, Waterfox and Ecosia Search -> Ecosia, Ecosia, Kagi and DuckDuckGo

Browsers -> IronFox (Android), LibreWolf, Celenity's Phoenix Firefox Rules, Mullvad Browser (Desktop), SnowHaze (iOS)
Search -> SearxNG, StartPage, DDG, Ecosia
I can reccomend Brave browser/search engine as an alternative!
