It just hides the AI prompt, but I'm grateful that this one actually worked

I still see a glimpse of the AI results, so this extension isn't preventing Google from generating them, it's just hiding them somehow. I've read that adding "-AI" to your search removes the AI overview, which does seem to work, it's just tedious and I have to work to develop the habit of adding it. I was glad to see someone had written an extension to (I hoped) do it for me, but I don't want merely not to see the AI results, I want to prevent Google from generating them at all, since it's training the model and the unnecessary power use that I object to most, not just that they are often misleading or incorrect. I wish I could leave five stars because I LOVE that someone is being as petty (is it really petty, though?) about this as I am but that feels dishonest since it's still letting Google use AI. All other similar extensions I found seem to do the same. I will try the Legacy mode, perhaps that will do the trick.
