Features & Capabilities

Disable AI is a Chrome extension designed to block AI-powered overviews on popular search engines including Google, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Brave Search, and Qwant. Unlike other extensions that merely hide AI results, Disable AI stops the underlying browser and server requests responsible for running AI features, reducing the significant water and energy consumption associated with AI computations.

By preventing the processing of AI-generated content during your internet searches, this extension helps minimize resource usage, contributing to environmental sustainability. The extension is open source, allowing transparency and community contributions, with its code available on GitHub.

Does what promises! I'd suggest an easier way to disable this extension when someone actually wants AI, but it would only disturb the purpose of this extension, because it makes it harder for the lazy user to disable it (I say for myself): Configs > Extensions > Disable "DisableAI" All that path gives you time to remember: "Why did I installed this extension on the first place?" Thank you for helping me keep my intellect!!!!! "btw for anyone wondering - if you use duckduckgo, it has a lot of options to disable/enable many sorts of ai to your liking" - Well said from another comment. Greetings from Brazil. Gut.

Is Disable AI Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Disable AI requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Disable AI is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
