How do I completely disable Liquid Glass on iPhone?

It’s only been a few days and I’m fed up with Liquid Glass. It’s so irritating and messes up every visual aspect. I want to be able to look at images in safari without seeing the image page under the image I’m looking at where the search bar is. I don’t want to “reduce transparency” I want it completely gone. Is this even possible or am I stuck with this annoying display function for the rest of my time using iOS?

You can reduce the Liquid Glass effects, but completely eliminate it, you can't. It's hard coded into and a part of iOS. To reduce the effects, open Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size - Turn on Transparency and Contrast.
