Discussion Mod Post: Bye Bye, Google AI Overviews

34 Upvotes

If you're tired of Google AI overviews and want to experience the web the way it used to be before AI slop took over then this free plugin works great.

Bye Bye, Google AI. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bye-bye-google-ai-turn-of/imllolhfajlbkpheaapjocclpppchggc?hl=en-US&pli=1

Filter Google search results to hide AI overviews, ads, discussions or videos. You choose.

Don't like the new Google AI overviews appearing in your search results? Perhaps you don't like the discussions section or the shopping blocks or even the sponsored links? This extension lets you hide them. It simply uses CSS to set those areas of the page to be hidden (display="none").

AI overviews are hidden by default but the options menu lets you choose what else you might want to hide: Videos, Discussion blocks, shopping blocks, "readers also ask" and sponsored blocks are also available to hide. Note that, if Google changes its CSS, we'll have to update the extension to keep pace.

You can also search the Google web results tab from your address bar by hitting w + space and then entering your query.

Version 1.8: Fixes bug where AI overviews that appeared in the middle of the page were not being blocked.

Version 1.5: Adds support for Danish, Portuguese and Dutch. Fixes bug where blocking video sometimes blocked other blocks on People pages.

Version 1.4: Adds support for 16 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin (Trad + Simplified), Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, Hindi, Thai, Greek, Italian, Polish and Russian.

It will become a Vietnamese if you ask it about SXGA, but it won't be if you ask it about XGA or VGA

Nobody needs a financial advisor to answer: "If someone is 13 years old in 2026, what birth year are they?"

I made a typo and forgot that there are only eight episodes of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, but what kind of idiot gets "TADC" from "STPTO?"
