- Rated 5 out of 5by shinae, 2 days agoThis is amazing!
Most AI blocking add-ons merely hide it from search results, but this one blocks it altogether which is what I've been looking for.
I hate that the forced implementation of AI in search engines is contributing to the depletion of drinking water, pollution of marginalized communities, rapidly rising electricity costs, and spread of misinformation.
None of us consented to this!
Tools like this help us opt out of being complicit.
Forever grateful and will spread the word about its existence! - Rated 5 out of 5by lee terry, 4 days agoWas looking for a way to disable this crap by default on brave search till I asked using the "ask ai" button.
The setting for that gets cleared when I close my browser along with a ton of other data and it defaults always on (meaning I had to reset the option every time I closed the browser).
So, I got this and set it on my bar at the top. Now, when I wanna search and ask AI right away I click the icon in the top of my browser, then change the addon settings from "always allow" to "on click" only to revert the change back after I am finished. Plus, if I wanna ask after I search I can just click the ask button and it works even with the addon running.
It does the job I wanted perfectly, that is worth it at least 4 stars, but the fact that its easy to use warranted 5 imo. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19476224, 19 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Moonrize, a month agoVery useful! It's a shame Bing doesn't provide any way to opt-out AI overviews, but let's just change search engine!

posted a month agoMicrosoft appears to have completely removed the option in Bing to turn off Copilot answers (AI overviews). DuckDuckGo is an alternative that uses Bing as one of their results sources, along with others, and is more privacy-focused. - Rated 5 out of 5by ChaosCloud, a month agoBigTech loves shoving AI slop up our arses. This must-have extension increases QoL exponentially.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19007388, 2 months agoMAY ETERNAL PRAISE BE UNTO YOU. I had already left Chrome and was about to quit all things Google. Absolute nonsense, AI Overview. This is Google the way it was meant to be, like in 1999. One clean screen and 10 blue links.
- Rated 5 out of 5by americancarrot, 2 months agoI hate seeing the AI overview on google, AI is not only detrimental to our environment but it's not even right half the time. A simple change that makes a big difference for me when I'm searching. I'm trying to use google not ChatGPT

- Rated 5 out of 5by KinderScorpion0, 2 months agoThank you!!! This helps so much. I hate the ai overview, it bogged down my searches and gave bad info half the time. This removed it completely!
- Rated 5 out of 5by fnhfbx56uvrtyh4, 3 months agoIt's a bit inconvinient to use when you want to use google cirrency or measure converter. But screw ai overviews
Developer response
posted a month agoYou can disallow the add-on from running in Private mode and access the converters in Private mode, though you will still get AI overviews. You can also try using another browser just for that purpose, or find alternative websites for the conversions you need. Or print out some conversion charts and keep them nearby. - Rated 5 out of 5by welltas, 3 months ago
