Google’s AI Overviews offer AI-generated answers before your search results. There isn’t a way to turn them off, but there are a few methods you can try to get around them.
If you’ve searched for something on Google lately, you might’ve noticed a wall of text that appears before the actual search results. This feature, called AI Overviews, offers an AI-generated answer to certain queries. But it also pushes your list of links further down the page, which makes it a bit annoying to scroll past when you want to do your own research — and it will get even more annoying once Google starts stuffing ads into it.
* When you’re done, hit Save or Add. Then select the three dots next to the entry and choose Make default. The next time you conduct a search, you should no longer see AI Overviews. There are some other simple ways to avoid AI Overviews, too, including with uBlock Origin. One Reddit user found that you can avoid the feature by downloading the uBlock extension for your browser. You then head to the settings menu, go to the My filters section, paste google.com##.
