How to Block AI Overviews to Get Faster Search Results
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
AI Overviews often take a moment to fill in, and they push the links down. Search Cleaner hides the box on google.com search pages, so the links sit at the top instead. Be clear on what that gains you: Google still builds the overview and the page doesn't load faster, but you don't have to wait for the summary or scroll past it.
