Or you could...not use Google. Cut the AI, but everything else about it is still shit.
Unfortunately there is no other free alternative that is as effective.
google itself isn't even as effective. its all been downhill since seo became a thing
There are a bunch of free search engines available.
Effective how? Are you actually talking about the search engine? But it's so fucking bad. What can it do that the other big ones can't?
Pretty bold to say that you can eliminate ads and AI results, “for good”. It only happens because Google lets it for now.
One way to edit the search URL is a proxy site like udm14.com, which is probably the biggest site out there popularizing this technique.
When people are making their own entire web sites to make it possible for third parties to adapt around UX issues of your web site (not just a handful, but enough people that there's one of those sites that's identifiable as "the biggest"), you have lost the plot.

use duckduckgo guys
Ooh I got bad news for ya bud

Publicizing it is so stupid.
Google can easily change that parameter on their end and not affect their own site. They could randomize it every few minutes and not miss a best.
