Is there any way to turn off Gemini from automatically responding when you search on Google? I've tried and can't figure out how to do so, if it's possible at all.

You can create a custom search engine in your browser called {google:baseURL}/search?udm=14&q=%s This will almost give you the old google back, by enforcing web search, without any AI, widgets, ads and what have you. Looks a bit like mid 2000s Google.

Under Chrome it's Settings --> Search Engine --> Manage search engines and site search. Then there's a button dor adding new custom engines. It wants three entries: Name: pick what you like, i called it "udm14" Abbreviation: pick again what you like URL: this is where you copy the link
