## Review summary

Users broadly praise Bye Bye AI for removing AI-generated content from Google searches and report that the extension generally works as advertised, often serving as a lifesaver by reducing AI clutter. The major drawbacks are inconsistent performance—some users find it stops working on certain Firefox versions or sites—and its limited scope, as it only targets Google search results and not other sites or engines. Overall, most reviews laud its effectiveness when it functions, but reliability and scope are common concerns.
