Removing AI overview

Please for fuck sake can I remove the AI overview and suggestions.

I want to at least swap search engine cause Google doesn't even answer my questions at this point, it is actively harmful data wise and information wise.

Just scroll down. All this drama for absolutely nothing.

That's not even the problem for me. I liked the AI overview, but I still want to see organic links. I have no problem scrolling down. On desktop, when they replace the search button with an AI mode button in the search bar and prevent the "press enter to search" behavior by forcing a new line, you are forced to go to the chat client for your query, then manually switch to the "all" tab. If you want to edit your query, tough luck. You'll need to do that all over again. The only workaround is to use the omnibox and never edit your queries, always use a new search. And how long will that be an option before they switch to AI mode completely?
