Anyone know how to disable the Google AI summary in Safari. I've done it with Firefox by setting up a custom search as default but I can't find any way to do it in Safari.
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.1
Currently, the only way to do that in the default setup for Safari is to use the Web tab after the Google search. There are other Extensions available for Safari to create custom search engines, but I have not tried them. One example is here and does have good reviews. I don't know anything else about this extension, other than a simple search in the App Store, so sorry I am not able to provide a recommendation:

Google is pushing AI hard and has taken a different approach where it is usually an opt-in feature and instead is putting it out in default searches.
Thank, but I can't make it work. I've set it up exactly as you've shown but I still get AI rubbish at the top of Google search. When I click on the CSE icon next to the address bar it always gives me the following.
I don't know what 1. means - I've tried changing to Yahoo and back to Google in the CSE settings and Safari seettings but it makes no difference. I've done 2. I've customized CSE exactly as your screenshot.
Any ideas?

Just a note. "Below" is kind of meaningless as it assumes that people have the thread sorted by "Newest". There are other options. You may want to give the dates of your replies when directing people to them.

A suggestion: Unless you are responding to the first post of a thread, quote the post you are responding to. That way it will be clear which post you are commenting on, regardless of how other users have their preferences set for the thread (or globally).

Why not? What is it that you can only do with Chrome that you can't do with other browsers?

I don't want Google AI summaries.
Google is going to make that as hard to do as possible.
Hmm - in Safari Settings > Extensions, here is how mine is setup - perhaps you need to tick it to be active in the left too?
It's ok, thanks. I've sorted it.
Thanks for the tip.
how did you sort it? please share, I've tried everything and it's become unbearable
