User reviews

Works well enough, but google still runs the AI or whatever (I see the AI overview flash on the screen real fast before disappearing), meaning I'm still apparently burning down a forest when I google "how many ants are in a colony". Just be aware that this extension isn't (at least I don't believe) saving any energy or water from being used for google's AI.

I don't mind AI answers but Ill usually go to Ai if I want an AI answer, this is a life saver
