About

Other extensions merely HIDE the AI overview, which doesn't prevent it from generating in the background. This extension completely prevents Google from generating the AI overview, saving water and electricity and preventing misinformation via hallucination of AI models.

This extension automatically includes the search parameter " -ai" which disables AI overview.

If you want to keep the extension enabled, but have an important question that you want the AI overview for such as "should I brush my dog's teeth?",  then you can manually delete the " -ai" and the extension will detect your intention.

The extension also removes the " -ai" parameter if you switch to a different search tab, e.g. "Images".
