About

Append "-ai" to your searches to remove the obnoxious Google AI overview. It prevents redundant AI queries by not only hiding the overview element, but removing the AI query completely. Other "hide Google AI overview" plugins, only hides the overview element.

This plugin only appends "-ai" to your search query before any major part of the DOM has loaded, thereby not triggering the Google AI overview function.

No query or personal data is stored, and the plugin only accesses google.com/search to rewrite queries. It does not access any other data or websites.

See screenshots above for "before" and "after" results.
