Alternatively, you can just disable AI overviews in your Google settings. But that does not make for a very interesting Gizmodo article.


There's no setting for that, Google is intentionally not giving you that choice. You can append &udm=14 to the search URL in browser settings, but that constraints search results to the "web" subcategory, so you also lose fairly useful features, such as the calculator, weather infoboxes, etc.


Seems like I’m mistaken about this, sorry everyone. I don’t have ai results in my google, don’t know why


Can you? I couldn’t figure out how to do that. Then again maybe it’s because I googled it and the AI result told me it’s not possible.

Does anyone know if there’s a uBlock origin filter for this?


I made an extension for it, as I couldn't find anything existing that also worked on mobile:

You could also just use the underlying CSS in something like Stylus, or convert it to uBlock filters:

Doesn't look like there's an official way to, most seem to involve hacking the search bar engines or installing an extension.

Used the block element chooser by right clicking on the over view. However, I suspect it will be temporary given the random key: blocked: http://www.google.com/##div.EjQTId.YNk70c:nth-of-type(1)


Same here…

> AI Overview > You can't completely disable Google's AI Overviews in your search results, but you can use workarounds to hide them.

The workarounds didn’t seem to work for me.



> Note: Turning off “AI Overviews and more” in Search Labs will not disable all AI Overviews in Search. AI Overviews are part of Google Search like other features, such as knowledge panels, and can’t be turned off


That doesn’t work for me. The option was already toggled off.


You should probably apologize or delete.
