How to Remove the New AI Box on Google Desktop
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Install Search Cleaner in Chrome and the AI Overview box on google.com search pages is hidden straight away; its "AI Overview" switch is on by default, so there's nothing to set up. It finds the box by its heading rather than by Google's internal class names, which change often. You can switch it off from the extension's window whenever you want to see the overview.
