Description from store
This browser extension is designed to enhance your browsing experience by removing AI-generated overviews from Google search results. Recognizing that not all users appreciate the AI-powered summaries and insights which can clutter search results, this extension offers a clean, streamlined interface that focuses solely on traditional results, allowing you to easily turn off AI Overviews.

- (2025-08-02) Riccardo Melfi: That doesn't work because AI Overview is shown and appears. Help everwhere!!!
- (2025-08-01) Alexis J (lexiiii666): I love you
- (2025-08-01) STUDENT UU: Does not work right now, still showing AI overviews, worked great until today
- (2025-07-31) Exadeus Kreuz: Doesn't work
- (2025-07-30) R Banerjee: Stopped working in the UK as of today due to new google AI tool and possible updates to google AI. Works very well normally - would be 5 stars. Updates from developer needed. On further reading this is due to the ai being a second result. Works well on searches that do not have this option. Needs updating.
- (2025-07-29) Chris Burton: Just what I needed, thank you.
- (2025-07-29) LotusDecember: Doesn't work.
- (2025-07-28) Evan: I hate AI, so it's a godsend, but it only works if you're searching on a Google searchbar and if the AI overview is the first thing to pop up. If you Google a question, the first pop up could be someone on Reddit asking the same question, and in that situation where the AI overview isn't the very first result, it'll still show up. I've noticed this has been happening more and more frequently, it almost seems like Google is doing it on purpose. If you Google a question, and get the list of "People also ask" questions and click on one, an AI overview can still show up there. It also doesn't work if you use Google Lens or "search google for this image" as once you select one of those options it'll still give you an unprompted AI overview of the image. Very annoying. If there's a way to patch these out (even just the first one I mentioned with AI overviews not being the first result of a Google search and still showing up) it would be an instant 5 stars.
- (2025-07-28) Anon: The only issue I have is recently google added Ai mode in the search bar on the new tab page. This extension doesn't block this and because the new tab page doesn't have a URL I cant block it with an ad blocker either
- (2025-07-26) Susan Zoske: It doesn't work. You can tell by the wording of the information posted that AI wrote it.
- (2025-07-25) Trace: Works for a few searches, then the overview shows up as the second result. Then it just fails to hide it entirely. Reinstall.... and right back to the same behaviour. This is with Firefox on Ubuntu 22.
- (2025-07-22) Karbon Kevlar: I'm on Brave. It simply doesn't work.
- (2025-07-21) callanyonefrompc: I noticed on July 21, 2025, that this extension was not working, so I switched to: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/disable-ai-overview-turn/jledohjahnkncbmnfmbnaophlakhoanl
- (2025-07-21) kasper :3: I NEEDED this. I detest AI overview, and the fact that Google has basically decided that we are undeserving of so much as a simple toggle to turn it on or off drives me so far up the wall, I might as well be on the ceiling. I love this extension so much. I can finally search up my ridiculously stupid questions in peace again, without AI overview popping up to say "have you tried turning it off and on again?" while my laptop is practically about to burst into flames. Again, I love this extension; 10/10!!!
- (2025-07-21) Curtis Bay: thanks for uncrapifying my google searches
- (2025-07-18) Keller: Used to work sometimes when I first downloaded it. Now it doesn't work at all. Otherwise it is a good extension. I've always wanted to have the option to not have the AI review show up on my search. So I definitely appreciate this existing.
- (2025-07-18) Blake Leardini: Does not work as of 07/17/25. Please fix! Otherwise this is a very helpful extension, I do not like the AI overviews for many reasons, like their negative impact on the environment and rural communities (cough cough Meta is northern Georgia). They are also not as useful as just seeing an excerpt from the first result like it used to.
- (2025-07-17) Laurent: Never worked for me
- (2025-07-17) Robert Ivey: 1 star added because it used to work fine, but now it does not. Update it, boys!
- (2025-07-14) Erik Luebke: 5 star when it worked, trash now
- (2025-07-13) Mel J: This was a 5 start app when it was working, but recently that ceased to be the case. Hopefully this can get sorted out ASAP, as the extension was great.
- (2025-07-12) Mowafk Mha: this extension was working but now it's not . I installed another extension to overcome the issue
- (2025-07-10) Splaat YT Official: I tried searching on google for "disney ai lawsuit" and the overviews still show up.
- (2025-07-09) decent dango: Does not work, I keep seeing AI results.
- (2025-07-08) Finn Hennessey: Works as advertised
- (2025-07-06) punchlamb: Works as advertized.
- (2025-07-04) Alex H: Doesn't work? Overview is still shown edit: okay it works now. You have to tick "allow access to search page results". But it only kinda works. AI overviews are still shown if there aren't on top of the page.
- (2025-07-02) Lohan: Great to not have AI anymore ! I do wish there was a way for it to not generate ai at all (because it uses a lot of resources, and this extension only hides it), probably will quit Google anyways, but the extension does the advertised job so, good !
- (2025-07-02) Zachary R: thank you to whoever made this to remove that garbage off my page a thousand times, google's generative AI is absolute garbage and always incorrect!!!
- (2025-07-01) smqfl: vfery good for the people wjo say it dosnt work then go to the extension in the extensions page and enable "allow access to search results" or something liek that idk if it varies between browsers
- (2025-07-01) sadif: It doesn't works.
- (2025-06-30) Salted Sins: I can finally search without 80% of the first page being ads and AI slop.
- (2025-06-30) Ajwain: This extension is good! But, please update it for the current version of Google AI. It's still popping up on my screen when I browse for more answers on the search engine.
- (2025-06-30) Savo Pejović: Doesnt work if overview is not on top of the page
- (2025-06-30) Synn Schwartz: Works! I don't have to consciously look down when searching anything anymore.
- (2025-06-30) ArxidiaX2 ArxidiaX2: Amazing. Ai overviews often don't even provide me with the information i'm looking for, and make me scroll more for an answer that will actually help me.
- (2025-06-29) Mengo: A must need for the modern internet.
- (2025-06-28) Elise: It worked great, for a while. But it seems Google updated and now it's back... Hope you can find a way around it as I absolutely hate the AI overviews.
- (2025-06-27) Michael: Only way to turn off AI overview I have found that works so far. I installed this on a Chrome browser and on a MacOS computer for reference.
- (2025-06-27) Katz: does not work
- (2025-06-27) Your Unruly Servant: works for me, tyyyy
- (2025-06-26) Artur Klesun: Works!
- (2025-06-26) Casey Smith: i can finally get actual answers again :D
- (2025-06-25) Olivia Martiskainen: this used to work but doesn't anymore :( it was really great while it lasted.
- (2025-06-25) Keanan J.S.: Works fine on mine
- (2025-06-25) Alex: Great that i can use it on my laptop although i am still having difficulty syncing it to my phone which is what i want. The instructions are flaky and they make it sound so simple installing it but its not. Maybe thats what google wants
- (2025-06-24) Minebrandon 52: Doesn't work anymore, a bummer too as I HATE those useless slop answers google gives and it was nice being free from them whenever I searched for something on this computer
- (2025-06-23) Pedro Henrique: Thank you.
- (2025-06-23) Angel Archania: Just installed it and it does absolutely nothing. Still have constant stupid AI overviews.
- (2025-06-22) Tilly Bee: Unfortunately doesn't work anymore. Please fix it :( Edit: They fixed it! :D Edit 2: It stopped working again the next day :(
