Oh wow, Google is really sneaky with their AI Mode button on the new tab page in Chrome. Here's a very unintuitive way to disable it.
1. Open chrome://flags/ in your browser.
2. Look for "ntp-compose-entrypoint".
3. Switch to "disabled".
4. Restart your browser.
@stefan My new tab page opens Duck Duck Go... ;)
That's another way to disable that.
But there you only need a different sub-domain to disable the "AI" fluff

And it's easier to disable: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/
This URL also works with the 'bookmarklet' for Settings.
And DDG can filter out AI-generated images from image search results.

"We rely on publicly available lists to filter out AI-generated content, like those provided by uBlockOrigin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist, an open-source blocklist, manually curated by project contributors."
