Features & Capabilities

Take back control of your Google search results. This lightweight Chrome extension hides Google's AI Overviews, the 'People Also Ask' AI suggestions, and the AI mode buttons, restoring a traditional search experience. It works by applying CSS rules to conceal those elements, and may require updates if Google changes its CSS.

Open-source project with a GitHub repo and a donation link. The extension is CSS-based and lightweight, designed to keep search results clean without collecting data. Keep up with updates on GitHub and consider supporting maintenance via the donation link.

Doesn't work on Opera GX
by IB*****, 2026-01-10
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! IT WORKS!! Omg, I'm just happy that trash is gone :,)
by R.*****, 2026-01-06
Great application! It does what it's supposed to, but there's one problem. When I have this enabled, every time I open a new tab, it automatically takes me to the Google app. Is this a bug that can be fixed? Great extension otherwise, I just hope this gets addressed soon.

Is Hide Google AI Overviews and Mode 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.

Hide Google AI Overviews and Mode requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
