Don't just hide results. Disable AI overviews on popular search engines so your searches consume less energy and water.

Description from store
Disable Google's AI Overview, DuckDuckGo's AI Assist, Ecosia's AI Overview, Brave Search's Answer with AI, and Qwant's AI Flash Answer. The AI features don't even run in the background. We don't just hide results like other extensions. AI is a large consumer of water and energy, and this is an attempt to reduce resource consumption during Internet searches.
Our goal is not to just hide AI-powered results on websites and search engines like other extensions, but to actually stop the browser or server requests that run behind the scenes. Otherwise resources are still consumed by AI to generate results, even if they are hidden visually.

- (2025-08-16) BananaTim: Needed this for Brave as AI answers were still popping up even after disabling it. Seems to be working so far.
- (2025-08-12) Grayson Waterman: It is great, except that it makes the "All" tab inaccessible. Also, the "AI Mode" button on the Google homepage search bar is still present; however, that does not bother me all that much. Overall, I think it is good.
- (2025-07-17) My Name: perfect! just what i was looking for :)
- (2025-07-02) Emily Graham: Wanted something that actually stopped it doing the AI search rather than just hiding the results. This seems to work perfectly in Google - haven't tried the other search engines.
