Rufus Remover – Remove Amazon's AI Assistant
Extension Actions
- Extension status: Featured
- Live on Store
Shop without being 'assisted'. Remove Amazon's Rufus AI assistant for distraction-free shopping.
In its relentless pursuit to extract every ounce of profit, Amazon added an AI shopping assistant you didn't ask for.
Rufus inserts itself into navigation, opens chat panels unprompted, offers unsolicited suggestions, and generally refuses to mind its own business. Rufus Remover makes it all disappear so you can shop in peace.
Enabled by default. It just works. There's a toggle if you really want to turn it off, but seriously, why would you.
🐶 One-click toggle. Enable or disable instantly
🐶 Works immediately. No setup, no account
🐶 Lightweight. You won't notice it's there
🐶 Runs locally. No tracking or data collection
Install Rufus Remover and shop without being 'assisted.'

- YES! This works. It just works. You're a GODSEND. Thank you!! Of note, sometimes the Amazon webpage will load to a blank screen and you have to refresh the page of which I suspect may be a page loading issue on Amazon's end related to Rufus being blocked, so this is more of a note to the developer.

- Blocks rufus! Also blocks things it shouldn't. Tried going to customer photos of products and just end up with a blank screen. I've tested this with several different product page and it ALWAYS happens. Probably going to uninstall because of this.

- It's a miracle!!! I did several Google, YouTube, and Reddit searches with no workable results. Found your extension "CURE" to the horrible Rufus searching the Chrome Web Store. Wish ppl on other websites would refer the extension because it simply works. Thank you!!

- leafbelly
- Worked fine at first, but it makes my entire page disappear if I click to advance a search.

- Rufus suddenly started appearing as a sidebar while shopping & I couldn't find any way to get rid of it. Luckily, this tool took care of that, so now I am shopping Rufus free. Thanks!
- Clay Bratt
- It gets rid of that thing where you follow a link from a google search to Amazon.com and when the page loads an animated box slides in from the left and Rufus starts suggesting stuff.

- Extension works great -- developer very responsive regarding updates! Highly recommended. Rufus begone! 😄
- Kieran Brown
- Well it removed Rufus... As well as every other piece of text, and every other image in Amazon. It could just be a browser issue, I am using Kiwi Browser, so it may not play well. Then to add to that, ad block for safety, and it's on Samsung Dex. Still giving it 3 stars even though it basically made Amazon worse, because we seriously need an extension like this. I hope you can get it working. :)
- Dustin Powers
- Worked flawlessly, thank you!
- Donna B.
- This extension is very faulty. When turned on I cannot view Amazon. When active, the Amazon page is blank/white. It worked fine the first day, now it's useless. Sad because I had high hopes in getting rid of that invasive Ai.
- Ben Hu
- Perfect while it was working. Today, it turn Amazon page into a complete blank page (Brave).

- This extension works great to remove the annoying Rufus sidebar popup from Amazon on Chrome. If you run into any problems, clear your cache and try again; worked for me!
- Akicita A.
- WOW,IT WORKS!! This tiny little extension seems to have banished the intrusive Rufus from my shopping. I installed it half an hour ago and have been testing it on Amazon ever since just to be sure, and it does the trick.
