Welcome

Hello! Seems like you’ve came across this post for the same reason I’ve compiled it:

You want an exit from the noise on the internet in the post-“AI”, post-organic, algorithmic, whatever we want to call it, internet we find ourselves in today (2026).

Glad you’ve made it!

I will be continuously updating this blog post to include more options and alternatives as time progresses, since approaches will likely change over time as the internet likely becomes more enshittified.

_oogle Search

(you can probably guess what search engine this is)

Do you still find at least some value in _oogle results, even though they’ve notoriously been getting worse over the years?

I also too still prefer _oogle, as I haven’t found a competitor that compares. While I do think that will soon change, for now, I’ll use it but with one caveat: udm=14 on all searches.

Browser Approaches

Force _oogle UDM=14

Note: this appears to be vibe-coded/written with LLM assistance :/ (so many em-dashes on this page)

Forces all browser requests to _oogle.com/search to append &udm=14 to the end of the query, removing any AI overview from any results.

_oogle Chrome: Force _oogle UDM=14

Firefox: Force _oogle UDM=14

Websites

Search Wrapper: &udm=14 search wrapper webpage

Algorithms and News

RSS Feeds

RSS feeds are a great way to make your own algorithm, if you will, from scratch, using content you care about.

Instead of having a “For you” page where a platform tries to predict everything you want, you build your own Subscription feed where only the content you care about shows up.
