Here Are Several Ways to Get Rid of Google's AI Overviews

Google's AI Overviews is a questionable feature that annoys many users, mostly because it often provides wrong information, like that time when it recommended adding glue to pizza to make sure cheese sticks to it.

AI hallucinations are a big problem right now, and Google's CEO doesn't know when they will stop. Thankfully, people's irritation has led us to various solutions to get rid of the pesky AI advice in Google.

Avram Piltch from Tom's Hardware came up with a Chrome extension called Bye Bye, Google AI, which hides AI Overviews from Google search as well as the videos section, text ads, People Also Ask, and other parts of the search. It has recently been updated to include more languages and hide the whole AI Mode tab.

He also suggested other ways to fight the AI revolution. You can add "-noai" to your every search or use "?udm=14" in the address bar to remove AI, videos, or other types of content. The latter is more flexible because you can configure your browser to add it automatically.

If you need some solutions for the mobile version of Google, Piltch suggests going to TenBlueLinks. "When you visit the site, it references an XML file that follows the OpenSearch format, telling your browser to add an engine called Google Web to your settings menu." Alas, it works on Chrome and Edge, not Safari.

I'm sure people will come up with other, easier ideas for hiding AI, but for now, this is what we have. Do you use any of these solutions?
