Bye Bye AI

Removes Google's AI Overview feature from searches

Bye Bye AI is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to enhance your web search experience by removing Google's AI Overview feature from search results. If you prefer a minimalistic and distraction-free interface without AI-generated summaries or insights cluttering your view, Bye Bye AI offers a simple and effective solution. By seamlessly hiding the AI Overview, this tool helps users focus solely on traditional search results, improving readability and user control over visible content.

Installation is straightforward, and once enabled, Bye Bye AI operates quietly in the background without impacting your browser's performance. Ideal for users who want to maintain a classic search experience without AI-driven overlays, the extension respects privacy and enhances your productivity by reducing unnecessary information noise during your searches.

Cons
  • Does not work on all Google sites (limited to .COM)
  • Not functional in some cases (e.g., version 115.18.0esr)
  • Users still see AI elements like the 'People also ask' section despite using the extension

It does briefly show the AI for like a split second before it disappears (either it loading, or the actual result itself,) but, hey, it does the job.

Does not work for Google sites other than the .COM.
