Since the internet is now slop, ive been doing this with almost any search, and its sooooo good. Kagi is better, but this is free. I was getting so pissed off with how slopified search has become for everything.
Car repairs, gaming console questions, home repair, recipes, anything like that is SO much better with date range set to around before 2013 ish.
Unless you need the most up to date news, this is a great method. Only downside is remembering to change my search setting every time !
Another is to use ublacklist (if you aren’t already using ublock origin for some inexplicable reason) and add in AI/SEO slop blacklists. They will be filtered out of search.
Oh, and use the wiki redirect extension.
It doesn’t fix everything, but it’s a massive improvement for when the information you need is pretty recent.
Also, FYI the Kagi browser is great.
What is a good AI slop blacklist, if you could point me to one :)

Thank you!
I really do like Orion. I just wish Linux binaries were easy to download.
On desktop Linux, between Helium (relatively new and lightweight, comes with full UBO), Cromite (more hardcore antifingerprinting), and Firefox, I’m quite satisfied.
