Hide AI Overviews from Google

Removes Google's AI Overview so you can focus on classic search results.

Google’s new “AI Overview” boxes promise instant answers powered by large-language models, yet for many users they add clutter, bias, and scroll friction to the familiar list of blue links we have relied on for years. Hide AI Overviews restores the clean results page you remember—no pop-up panels, no algorithmically summarised paragraphs, only the information you asked for. Why the AI Overview needs taming AI summaries can be helpful when accurate, but they frequently hallucinate facts, cite partial sources, or push organic results below the fold. They also break the eye-tracking habits professionals develop when scanning dozens of SERPs per hour. If you verify medical guidance, audit financial data, or simply prefer primary sources, these blocks become a distraction—and sometimes a liability. Hide AI Overviews removes the noise before the page finishes loading, so you stay focused on the results that matter. Concrete benefits for everyday workflows Speed and focus — Search pages render faster without the AI overhead, and the first organic result appears above the fold. Accuracy — You rely on primary sources instead of potentially hallucinated summaries. Consistency — Behaviour is identical on desktop, laptop, or Chromebook, and the toggle setting stays active until you close the browser. Accessibility — Screen-reader users avoid extra landmarks, and keyboard navigators jump directly to results. One-click reversibility — Need the AI panel for a casual query? Toggle it back on, refresh, and carry on—no reinstall required. Who gains the most? Researchers and academics who must cite original sources for peer review. Journalists and fact-checkers who cannot risk quoting hallucinated text. Developers, SEOs, and power users who analyse SERP structure and ranking shifts. Privacy-conscious individuals uneasy with opaque AI pipelines blending personalisation with generative text. Non-native English speakers who prefer results in their own language and find English-centric AI answers unhelpful. Accessibility advocates who need predictable heading structures and fewer dynamic elements on the page. Generative AI may be part of the web’s future, but it should never be forced upon you. Hide AI Overviews combines surgical precision, transparent code, and multilingual readiness to give you the final say in how your search results look—and how you use them.
